    This document provides an explanation for Exercise 42 from the textbook "Elementary Statistics: A Step by Step Approach". The explanation is in two steps. First, it uses the complement rule to find the probability corresponding to the given z-score. Second, it identifies the z-value associated with that probability in the z-score table. The final answer is that the z-score is 1.98.

    Step 1 1 of 2

    Given in the figure:

    P (Z > z) = 0.0239

    Table E only contains the probabilities smaller than a z-score, thus we need to use the complement rule:

    P (Z < z) = 1 − P (Z > z) = 1 − 0.0239 = 0.9761

    The corresponding z-score z is then given in row/column title of table E which corresponds to a probability of 0.9761(or the
    probability closest).

    z = 1.98
