Q. Complete the statement. Round your answer to the nearest thousandth.In a population that is normally distributed with mean 64 and standard deviation 7, the bottom 90% of the values are those less than ___.
Find Z-Score for 90%: To find the value that separates the bottom 90% from the top 10%, we need to use the z-score table to find the z-score that corresponds to a cumulative probability of 0.90.
Lookup Z-Score: Looking up the z-score for a cumulative probability of 0.90 in the z-score table, we find that the z-score is approximately 1.28.
Use Z-Score Formula: Now we use the z-score formula to find the value: X=μ+zσ, where X is the value we're looking for, μ is the mean, z is the z-score, and σ is the standard deviation.
Plug in Values: Plug in the values: X=64+(1.28)(7).
Calculate Value: Calculate the value: X=64+8.96.
Round to Nearest Thousandth:X=72.96, but we need to round to the nearest thousandth.
Final Answer: The final answer, rounded to the nearest thousandth, is 72.960.
