Question 737671: I am learning how to read the tables but I am confused as to find the correct numbers when I am only provided one number. Please help!
Find the z-score for the standard normal distribution where:
Area = 0.05 in the left tail

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Since Area = 0.5, you have exactly half of the graph (since the total area=1).
That means z=0. (all the negative z's are to the left and positive z's are to the right).
