Q. Complete the statement. Round your answer to the nearest thousandth.In a population that is normally distributed with mean 47 and standard deviation 13, the bottom 90% of the values are those less than ___.
Find z-score for 90%: Find the z-score for 90\%. Using a z-table or calculator, the z-score for 90\% is approximately 1.282.
Use z-score formula: Use the z-score formula to solve for X. mean (μ): 47 standard deviation (σ): 13 z-score (Z): 1.282 Z=σX−μ 1.282=13X−47
Multiply by standard deviation: Multiply both sides by the standard deviation.1.282×13=X−4716.666=X−47
Add mean to solve for X: Add the mean to both sides to solve for X.X=16.666+47X=63.666
