To find the area under a normal curve to the left of a z-score of 3.01, we can refer to a standard normal distribution table or use a calculator that provides the cumulative distribution function (CDF) for the normal distribution.

A z-score of 3.01 is quite far in the tail of the distribution, and the area to the left of this z-score will be very close to 1.

Typically, the area to the left of a z-score of 3.00 is approximately 0.9987 or 99.87%. Given that 3.01 is even slightly higher, the area will be slightly more than 99.87%.

The most accurate option for a z-score of 3.01 among the choices provided is:

**0.9987 percent** or 99.87% (written as a decimal, it's 0.9987, but when considering percentages, it should be 99.87%).

So, the answer is **99.87 percent**.
