Final Answer: \(\boxed{2.59}\).

Steps

Step 1 :Let $Z$ be a standard normal variable. We are asked to find the value of $z$ if $z$ satisfies $P(Z>Z)=0.0048$.

Step 2 :We can use the inverse of the cumulative distribution function (also known as the quantile function or the percent-point function) to find the $z$-score that corresponds to the given probability.

Step 3 :The Python code has returned a $z$-score of approximately 2.59. This means that the value of $z$ that satisfies $P(Z>Z)=0.0048$ in a standard normal distribution is approximately 2.59.

Step 4 :Looking at the options provided in the question, the closest value to this result is 2.59.

Step 5 :Therefore, the correct answer is 2.59.

Step 6 :Final Answer: \(\boxed{2.59}\).
