The expression p(z > –1.53) represents the area under the standard normal curve above a given value of z. find p(z > –1.53).

We can only look up the value in the normal distribution table if the probability of z is LESS than a certain value AND the value is positive.
If the probability of z is MORE than the value, then you need to do 1 minus the probability.
I.e. 1 - 0.93699
[0.93699 is found in the normal distribution table, searching for 1.53]
However, since the value (-1.53) is also negative, you need to do 1 minus AGAIN. 
I.e. 1 - 0.93699

Since you have to do both, the answer should be obtained as follows:
1 - (1 - 0.93699) = 0.93699

Sorry for the terrible explanation :/ 
And apologies if anything is incorrect. Hope this helped though!
