Q. Complete the statement. Round your answer to the nearest thousandth.In a population that is normally distributed with mean 53 and standard deviation 10, the bottom 20% of the values are those less than ___.
Find z-score for bottom 20%: First, we need to find the z-score that corresponds to the bottom 20% of a normal distribution.
Use z-table for z-score: Using a z-table, we find that the z-score for the bottom 20% is approximately −0.842.
Apply z-score formula: Now we use the z-score formula: z=standard deviationX−mean, where X is the value we are looking for.
Rearrange formula for X: We rearrange the formula to solve for X: X=z×standard deviation+mean.
Plug in values: Plug in the values: X=−0.842×10+53.
Calculate X: Calculate the value of X: X=−8.42+53.
Round to nearest thousandth:X=44.58, but we need to round to the nearest thousandth.
Round to nearest thousandth:X=44.58, but we need to round to the nearest thousandth.Rounded value: X=44.580.
