1. **Problem Statement:**
Find the area under the standard normal curve between $z=0$ and given $z$-values using the z-table.
2. **Using the z-table:**
The z-table gives the area from the mean (0) to a positive z-value. For negative z-values, use symmetry: area from 0 to $-z$ equals area from 0 to $z$.
3. **Calculations for Part I:**
A. For $z=-1$, area between 0 and $-1$ equals area between 0 and 1.
From z-table, area(0 to 1) = 0.3413.
B. For $z=2.56$, area(0 to 2.56) = 0.4948.
C. For $z=-1.28$, area(0 to $-1.28$) = area(0 to 1.28) = 0.3997.
4. **Problem Statement for Part II:**
Convert given scores to z-scores using formula:
$$z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$$
where $\mu=48$, $\sigma=6$.
5. **Calculate z-scores and find area between them:**
A. Scores 54 and 42:
$$z_{54} = \frac{54-48}{6} = 1$$
$$z_{42} = \frac{42-48}{6} = -1$$
Area between $z=-1$ and $z=1$ is twice area(0 to 1):
$$2 \times 0.3413 = 0.6826$$
B. Scores 52 and 60:
$$z_{52} = \frac{52-48}{6} = 0.67$$
$$z_{60} = \frac{60-48}{6} = 2$$
Area between 0.67 and 2:
Area(0 to 2) = 0.4772
Area(0 to 0.67) = 0.2514
Difference = $0.4772 - 0.2514 = 0.2258$
C. Scores 55 and 60:
$$z_{55} = \frac{55-48}{6} = 1.17$$
$$z_{60} = 2$$
Area(0 to 2) = 0.4772
Area(0 to 1.17) = 0.3790
Difference = $0.4772 - 0.3790 = 0.0982$
D. Scores 48 and 42:
$$z_{48} = 0$$
$$z_{42} = -1$$
Area between 0 and -1 is 0.3413.
E. Scores 54 and 38:
$$z_{54} = 1$$
$$z_{38} = \frac{38-48}{6} = -1.67$$
Area between -1.67 and 1:
Area(0 to 1) = 0.3413
Area(0 to 1.67) = 0.4525
Sum = $0.3413 + 0.4525 = 0.7938$
**Final answers:**
I.A: 0.3413
I.B: 0.4948
I.C: 0.3997
II.A: 0.6826
II.B: 0.2258
II.C: 0.0982
