.
The normal distribution curve is a bell shaped curve.
This question is to determine the area under the normal distribution curve
above the given score.
It can be done in different ways:
- manually, or
- using online calculators, or
- using your pocket calculator.
MANUALLY
To do the job manually, use this Table representing AREA to the LEFT of the Z-score

So EVERY person, even beginner, may work with it on his or her own, even having minimum knowledge on the subject.
USING YOUR POCKET CALCULATOR
On how to use it, see a text description in THIS Internet source / site
