The video tutorial explains how to find a Z-score (C) for a standard normal distribution where the probability of Z being less than C is 0.614. It highlights that since the probability is greater than 50%, the Z-score will be positive. The tutorial guides viewers on using a cumulative Z-score table to find the closest value to 0.614, which is 0.6141, corresponding to a Z-score of approximately 0.29. This Z-score indicates that the probability of a randomly selected data value having a Z-score less than 0.29 is about 61.4%.
