Explanation Approach: The bell-shaped normal curve is symmetric with respect to its mean (denoted as μ ). Thus, 50% of the data values lies to the left of mean and remaining 50% of the data lies to the right of the mean. Figure 1 Calculation: The z -score corresponding to mean is 0. The positive z-score lies to the right of the mean and the negative z-score lies to the left of the mean. The bell-shaped curve indicates that a greater number of data lie near the mean. Here, the z -scores 0.5 and 1 lies near the mean when compared with the z -scores 1.5 and 2. Figure 2 illustrates the area under the normal curve between z = 0.5 and z = 1.0 and between z = 1
