463 Appendix B Distribution tables B.1 Normal Probability Table Y The area to the left of Z represents the percentile of the observation. The normal probability table always lists percentiles. negative Z positive Z To find the area to the right, calculate 1 minus the area to the left. 1.0000 0.6664 = 0.3336 For additional details about working with the normal distribution and the normal probability table, see Section 3.3, which starts on page 152. 464 APPENDIX B.
