Answer

Answer: 0.494

Work Step by Step

Want to find area under the standard normal curve to the right of z = 0.015 i.e. P( z > 0.015) 1 ) z = 0.015 is between z = 0.01 and z = 0.02 so we find: P ( z > 0.01) = 1 - P( z < 0.01) = 1 - 0.5040 = 0.496 P ( z > 0.02) = 1 - P( z < 0.02) = 1 - 0.5080 = 0.492 2) Finally: P ( z > 0.015) = (0.496 + 0.492)/2 = 0.494
