SUMMARY
This discussion addresses the limitations of standard normal distribution tables, which typically cover values from -3 to 3. When evaluating integrals beyond this range, such as from -infinity to -4.32, users are advised to utilize extended normal distribution tables or calculators. Key resources include the extended normal distribution table from the University of New Brunswick and numerical approximation methods outlined in Equation #11 on Wolfram MathWorld.
