Steps in Finding the Area Under the
Normal Curve Using the z-table
1. Express the given z-value in 3-digit
form.
Example:
z=1 z=
1.00
z= z=
2.5 2.50
z= z=
0.1 0.10
Steps in Finding the Area Under the
Normal Curve Using the z-table
2. Using the z-table, find the first two
digits on the left column.
3. Match the third digit with the
appropriate column on the right.

REFLECTION

How do you find the area of the

region under the normal curve
using the z-table?
Given the values in the z-table,
describe the region covered by
the area.
TEST YOURSELF
