The critical value for a right-tailed test with $\alpha = 0.035$ corresponds to the z-score that has 0.035 of the distribution's area to its right. Looking up this area in the z-table, we find the z-score that corresponds to the cumulative area of $1 - 0.035 = 0.965$. The z-score that closely matches this cumulative area is 1.81.
