To answer this question, we need to remember that the sum of the total area of a probability distribution is always 1.

First case: the area to the right of x

Then, if we have that the area to the left of x in a normal distribution is 0.272, the area to the right of x is:


A_{\text{rightx}}=1-0.272\Rightarrow A_(rightx)=0.728

If we sum both areas, we will get 1 as the total area of this probability distribution.

Second case: the area to the left of x

Now, if we have that
