Elisha Koch · Answer 1

-0.36

Step-by-step explanation:

For any given standard normal distribution, the value of the z-score at the 36th percentile can be found by simple observation of a z-score table.

At the 36th percentile, a normal distribution has a z-score of roughly - 0.36.

Therefore - 0.36 is the value of z such that the proportion of observations that are less than z is 0.36.
