Q. Complete the statement. Round your answer to the nearest thousandth.In a population that is normally distributed with mean 63 and standard deviation 7, the bottom 30% of the values are those less than ___.
Calculate z-score for 30th percentile: To find the value that separates the bottom 30% from the rest, we need to use the z-score formula for the 30th percentile.
Find z-score using formula: The z-score for the 30th percentile can be found using a z-table or a calculator with inverse normal function. Let's assume the z-score for the 30th percentile is approximately −0.52.
Use z-score formula: Now we use the z-score formula: 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=63+(−0.52)(7).
Calculate result: Calculate the value: X=63−3.64.
Round to nearest thousandth:X=59.36, but we need to round to the nearest thousandth.
Final answer: The final answer, rounded to the nearest thousandth, is 59.360.
