Identify the shaded region on the standard normal distribution curve. The shaded area is between the z-scores of 0 and 0.8.
Understand that the standard normal distribution is symmetric around the mean, which is 0, and has a standard deviation of 1.
Use the standard normal distribution table (z-table) to find the area to the left of the z-score 0.8. This value represents the cumulative probability from the left up to 0.8.
Find the area to the left of the z-score 0, which is 0.5, since the mean of the standard normal distribution is 0.
Subtract the area to the left of z = 0 from the area to the left of z = 0.8 to find the area of the shaded region. This will give you the probability of the z-score being between 0 and 0.8.
