### Graph Explanation:
To the left of the table is a bell-shaped curve representing a standard normal distribution. The shaded area under the curve corresponds to the probability or area for a given z-score, labeled as "z." This graph visually represents the area under the curve to the left of a specified z-score.
### Table V: Standard Normal Distribution
This table is used to find the area under the standard normal curve to the left of a given z-score. The z-scores are provided in the rows, and decimal places are extended across columns labeled .00 to .09.
#### Example Values:
- **z = -3.4**:
- Area for .00 = 0.0003
- Area for .01 = 0.0003
- Area for .02 = 0.0003
- Area for .03 = 0.0003
- Area for .04 = 0.0003
- **z = 0.0**:
- Area for .00 = 0.5000
- Area for .01 = 0.5040
- Area for .02 = 0.5080
- Area for .03 = 0.5120
- Area for .04 = 0.5160
- **z = 1.0**:
- Area for .00 = 0.8413
- Area for .01 = 0.8438
- Area for .02 = 0.8461
- Area for .03 = 0.8485
- Area for .04 = 0.8508
- **z = 2.5**:
- Area for .00 = 0.9938
- Area for .01 = 0.9941
- Area for .02 = 0.9943
- Area for .03 = 0.9946
- Area for .04 = 0.9948
The table continues in a similar pattern, providing the cumulative area under the curve for various z-scores. This is a critical tool for statistical calculations involving the normal distribution.
