Q. Complete the statement. Round your answer to the nearest thousandth.In a population that is normally distributed with mean 10 and standard deviation 7, the bottom 30% of the values are those less than ___.
Find z-score for 30%: We need to find the z-score that corresponds to the bottom 30% of a normal distribution.
Use z-table for −0.52: Using a z-table, we find that the z-score for the bottom 30% is approximately −0.52.
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=−0.52×7+10.
Calculate X: Calculate the value of X: X=−3.64+10.
Round to nearest thousandth:X=6.36, but we need to round to the nearest thousandth.
Final answer: The final answer, rounded to the nearest thousandth, is 6.360.
