Concept:

First find the area of the shaded region under the standard normal curve and after it as you know total area=1 , so 1-area of shaded region= area of unshaded region.

Answer:

Area of shaded region= P(-2
\leq z
\leq 1)


Now,


the symbol Ф represent the cumulative density.


first find the


Ф(1) from the above given table it is equal to 0.8413.


Now,


find the Ф(-2) .


in our table we are given the value of Ф(2)=0.9772.

so as the curve is symmetrical Ф(-2)=1-0.9772=0.0228.

P(-2
\leq z
\leq 1)
= Ф(1)-Ф(-2)


= 0.8413-0.0228

= 0.8185

Now,

Area of unshaded region= 1-area of shaded region

= 1- P(-2
\leq z
\leq 1)

= 1- 0.8185

= 0.1815

= 0.18

C is the correct answer.
