P(z > 2.43)

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
z-score is 2.43
look it up in the z-score table.
that table tells you the area to the left of that z-score.
since you want to know z > 2.43, you want the area to the right of the z-score.
that would be equal to 1 - the area to the left of the z-score.
here's a z-score table that you can use.

scan down the first column until you see 2.4
on that row, scan across until you see 0.03
the resulting intersection contains .9925
that's the area to the left of that z-score.
the area to the right of that z-score is equal to 1 - .9925 = .0075
