The problem involves finding the area of the shaded region in a standard normal distribution (with a mean of 0 and standard deviation of 1). The graph shows a shaded region to the left of the z-score $z = -0.94$.

To find the area of this shaded region, we need to find the cumulative probability corresponding to a z-score of $z = -0.94$. This is typically done using the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the standard normal distribution.

Using a z-table or a calculator, the area (probability) to the left of $z = -0.94$ is approximately:

$P(Z \leq -0.94) \approx 0.1736$

Thus, the area of the shaded region is approximately 0.1736, which represents the probability that a standard normal variable is less than or equal to -0.94.

Here are five related questions you might find useful:

1. How is the area under the normal curve related to probabilities?
2. What is the significance of the z-score in normal distribution problems?
3. How do you calculate z-scores for non-standard normal distributions?
4. How can the area to the right of a z-score be found?
5. How does changing the mean and standard deviation affect the normal curve?

Tip: When using z-tables, remember that most tables give the area to the left of the z-score, so for right-tail areas, you must subtract from 1.
