You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the area under the standard normal curve that lies to the left of
Using a TI calculator 0r similarly a Casio fx-115 ES plus
.........
(a)z=1.02 = normalcdf(-100,1.02) = .8461 0r 84.61%
(b)z=1.27 = normalcdf(-100,1.27)= .898
(c)z=-0.86 = normalcdf(-100,-.86)= .195
(d)z=-0.62 = normalcdf(-100,-.62)= .2676

Excel function: NORMSDIST (z) works as well.

For the normal distribution: Below: z = 0, z = ± 1, z= ±2 , z= ±3 are plotted.
Area under the standard normal curve to the left of the particular z is P(z)
Note: z = 0 (x value: the mean) 50% of the area under the curve is to the left and 50% to the right
