Solution Steps

Step 1: Define the Problem

We need to find the area under the standard normal curve to the left of z=1.78 z = -1.78 . This area can be represented mathematically as P(Z<1.78) P(Z < -1.78) .

Step 2: Use the Cumulative Distribution Function

The area to the left of a given z z -score can be calculated using the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the standard normal distribution, denoted as Φ(z) \Phi(z) . Therefore, we can express the area as: P(Z<1.78)=Φ(1.78)Φ() P(Z < -1.78) = \Phi(-1.78) - \Phi(-\infty) Since Φ()=0 \Phi(-\infty) = 0 , this simplifies to: P(Z<1.78)=Φ(1.78) P(Z < -1.78) = \Phi(-1.78)

Step 3: Calculate the Probability

From the calculations, we find that: Φ(1.78)=0.0375 \Phi(-1.78) = 0.0375 Thus, the area to the left of z=1.78 z = -1.78 under the standard normal curve is 0.0375 0.0375 .

Final Answer

The area to the left of z=1.78 z = -1.78 under the standard normal curve is 0.0375\boxed{0.0375}.
