Answer to Question 1

Answers will vary. Possible answer: The student's reasoning was not correct. The original area should be subtracted from 1 to find the area to the left of the z-score, which is 0.48. The student should then look for the closest area to 0.48 in the body of the table and read off the corresponding z-score, which is -0.05.

Answer to Question 2

D
