29. Proportions of the Normal Curve

One-Tailed Reference Table and Reproducible Generator

Published

2026/04/17

This page reproduces the classic one-tailed normal table. Each cell gives the right-tail probability

\[P(Z \ge z)\]

for a standard normal deviate, where the row gives the first decimal place and the column gives the second decimal place. For example, the entry at row 1.5 and column 1 corresponds to \(z = 1.51\) and gives 0.0655.

ImportantAbout this table

This table corresponds to a table of the same same by Zar (1999). It was created by taking a screeenshot of the table in the book, asking GPT-5.3-codex to create an R script to reproduce the table and typeset it in LaTeX.
