OCR MEI S2 Question

Hey can someone please help me with S2.
I don't get the Z value. When looking it up on the tables you can only get upto 3 significant figures but the mark scheme does it upto four.
Let me show you:

You can't find 0.4087 on the tables you have to round it up to 0.409 which is what I did and I got 0.6586
How are you supposed to get 0.4087 on thee tables?

Φ(0.658)=0.407 and Φ(0.659)=0.4097\Phi(0.658)=0.407 \text{ and }\Phi(0.659)=0.4097 so they use linear interpolation to estimste the value of Φ\Phi corresponding to z=0.4087z=0.4087
