Use a z table. A table like this should be found in the back of your textbook.

Locate the row that starts with -0.4. This is on page 1. Highlight this row in red.

Use a different color, say green, to mark the column that has 0.07 at the top.

The red row and green column intersect at the cell that has 0.3192


The value 0.3192 represents the area to the LEFT of the z-score. We want the area to the RIGHT of this z-score, so subtract from 1

1 - 0.3192 = 0.6808

Final Answer: 0.6808
