mean of 1200 and standard deviation of 100.

........
Applicants who score in the 90% or higher will be admitted.
z = invNorm(.90) =
invNorm(.90) = 1.2816 (find Using table 0r Calculator 0r Excel function)
......
100(1.2816) + 1200 = 1328.16. 1329 score need for admittance
...
...
For the normal distribution: Below: z = 0, z = � 1, z= �2 , z= �3 are plotted.
90% of the Area under the standard normal curve is to the left of z = 1.2816
Note: z = 0 (x value: the mean) 50% of the area under the curve is to the left and 50% to the right
