To translate a raw score into a z score (ex: what is the chance of finding a clerk who makes a particular income of 16k per year). We look up the z score we calculated in table A and take the percentage straight from Column B.
If we are asked to find what percentage of a distribution lies at or beyond a particular raw score: For example a raw score of 16k we calculate the z score, look that up in table A and take the percentage from column C of table A as our answer (whether the z score is negative or positive).
If our calculated z score is below the mean (a negative z score) and we are trying to find our percentile rank, we look up the z score in Table A, column C and use that direct percentage. We dont add 50% because we are already below the mean.
Then we find the area for both(Table A, column B). For the area between the mean and z of 1.25 it is 39.44%. For the area between 0.75 and the mean is 27.34%. We add these together and get 39.44% + 27.34% = 66.78%. That tells us that 66.78 percent of scores fall between the scores of 88 and 120.
