~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Use the normal distribution table
https://www.math.arizona.edu/~rsims/ma464/standardnormaltable.pdf

From the Table, find the input entries that provide the closest values
to value   (1-0.44) = 0.56 in the Table.

There are 2 (two, TWO) such entries :   one positive and one negative.

Of these two entries, you need the highest of them, i.e. POSITIVE entry.

-------------

That's all.

So simple . . .
