(a) The area to the left of $Z=0.15$ is
(Round to four decimal places as needed.)
\(\boxed{0.5596}\) is the final answer.
Step 1 :The area to the left of a Z-score in a standard normal distribution represents the cumulative probability up to that Z-score. We can calculate this using the cumulative distribution function (CDF).
Step 2 :Given a Z-score of 0.15, we can calculate the area to the left of this Z-score.
Step 3 :Using the CDF, we find that the area to the left of Z=0.15 is approximately 0.5596176923702425.
Step 4 :Rounding this to four decimal places, we get 0.5596.
Step 5 :\(\boxed{0.5596}\) is the final answer.
