Q. Complete the statement. Round your answer to the nearest thousandth.In a population that is normally distributed with mean 43 and standard deviation 5, the bottom 80% of the values are those less than ___.
Find z-score for 80%: We need to find the z-score that corresponds to the bottom 80% of a normal distribution.
Use z-table to find z-score: Using a z-table, we find that the z-score for 80% is approximately 0.84.
Calculate X using z-score formula: Now we use the z-score formula: z=standard deviationX−mean. We rearrange it to solve for X: X=z×standard deviation+mean.
Plug in values and solve: Plug in the values: X=0.84×5+43.
Calculate final value: Calculate the value: X=4.2+43.
Round to nearest thousandth:X=47.2.
Round to nearest thousandth:X=47.2.Round the answer to the nearest thousandth: The value is 47.200.
