Question 286120: What is the z value such that 50% of the total area lies to the right of the curve in any normal distribution? Answer by oberobic(2304) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The z distribution is defined as normally distributed with mean = 0 and s.d. = 1, shown as N(0,1).
.
The mean is the "middle" or "center of mass" of the distribution, so 50% of the scores are less than z=0 and 50% are greater than z=0.
