      A. P(z>-a) – P(-a<z<a) + P(Z>a)
      B. P(z<-a) + P(-a<z<a) + P(Z<a)
      C. P(z<-a) – P(-a<z<a) – P(Z>a)
      D. P(z<-a) + P(-a<z<a) + P(Z>a)

        The correct answer is
        D. P(z<-a) + P(-a<z<a) + P(Z>a)

        Explanation:
        This expression represents all of the possible values in a curve, or in other words, the total area of a curve. According to a standard normal distribution, the total area of a curve is always equal to 1 as it is a probabilistic distribution.
