The value of k in: p( Z < k ) = 0.9875

To find the value of k in the equation p( Z < k ) = 0.9875, we need to use a standard normal distribution table or calculator.

From the standard normal distribution table, we can look up the z-score that corresponds to a cumulative probability of 0.9875. This z-score is approximately equal to 2.236.

Therefore, the value of k is 2.236.

So, p( Z < 2.236 ) = 0.9875.
