Can someone please help me

For a standard normal distribution, what’s the probability of getting a number less than zero?
75%
63%
50%
43%
34%
 
Can someone please help me. I am not sure how I am supposed to figure this out since I was not given any numbers. The only thing I can honestly say is I would guess 50%.

z = 0 represents zero standard deviations from the mean (also median and mode).
Half (50%) of the area under the curve is to the right and half is to the left.
