Almost by definition, if it is skewed enough to be notable, it is too skewed
to force into a symmetric z table (which is a Normal dist.)
Not to be facetious, but how close is 'close enough'? If you are lucky enough to find some sort of transformation that brings it back to a Normal, then.... but you didn't say that.

Can someone give me an answer about when a distribution is too skewed to use the z table? Melady --
