In one region, the September energy consumption levels for single family homes are found to be normally distributed with a mean of 1050 kWh and a standard deviation of 218 kWh. Find P45, which is the consumption level separating the bottom 45% from the top 55%

Want the 45th percentile of a distribution that is N with mean 1050 and sigma 218
If we can get the z-value for 0.4500, we can find the percentile with z=(x-mean)/sd, since we will have 3 of the four variables.
From the table, z=-0.125
-.125*218=x-mean
-27.25=x-1050
x=1022.75kWh
