Find the standard z-score that corresponds to the following: Eighty percent of the distribution is below (to the left of) this value. Solution Find the standard z-score such that 80% of the distribution is below the z-score: Using a standard normal table we find that for z=.84 79.95% is to the left and for z=.85 80.23% lies to the left. Without interpolation z=.84 is a good approximation. Using a graphing utility we get [z~~.8416].
