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 . . .

        In this problem,  you work   B  A  C  K  W  A  R  D   :

        you take the value from the  Table;  then you find the appropriate entry value  ( ! )
