Is this not the answer?

The problem says to find the area under the standard normal curve to the right of -1.06

I looked at the z-score table and see it listed as 0.1446 ???? And I left it as four decimal places like it asked. But this answer is marked wrong on my homework

    The 0.1446 is the area LEFT of the data point at z = -1.06.

    To get the area RIGHT of that data point, you must subtract that from 1:

    1 - 0.1446 = 0.8554

    P(z < -1.06) = 0.1446

    i.e. P(z > 1.06) = 0.1446

    Then, P(z < 1.06) = 1 - 0.1446

    so, 0.8554

    The value of 0.1446 is the area TO THE LEFT of -1.06. 

    You want the area to the right.
