Q. Complete the statement. Round your answer to the nearest thousandth.In a population that is normally distributed with mean 64 and standard deviation 13, the bottom 40% of the values are those less than ___.
Find Z-Score: We need to find the z-score that corresponds to the bottom 40% of a normal distribution.
Use Z-Table: Using a z-table, we find that the z-score for the bottom 40% is approximately −0.25.
Z-Score Formula: Now we use the z-score formula: z=standard deviationX−mean. We need to solve for X, which represents the value we're looking for.
Plug in Values: Plugging in the values we get: −0.25=13(X−64).
Isolate X: Multiplying both sides by 13 to isolate X, we get: −0.25×13=X−64.
Calculate Left Side: Calculating the left side: −0.25×13=−3.25.
Solve for X: Adding 64 to both sides to solve for X, we get: X=64−3.25.
Calculate Final Value: Calculating the final value: X=60.75.
