The probability of z occurring in the indicated region is 0.9772 or 97.72%.

What is z-value?

A z-value, in statistics, represents the number of standard deviations a data point is from the mean in a normal distribution.

To find the probability of z > -2

P(Z > -2)

Let's use the standard normal distribution table to find P(Z > -2) and the subtract the value from 1.

From standard normal distribution table

P( z = -2) = 0.0228

Therefore,

P(Z > -2) = 1 - P(z = -2)

= 1 - 0.0228

= 0.9772

Or

0.9772 * 100 = 97.72%

Therefore, the probability of z occurring in the indicated region is 0.9772 or 97.72%.
