Question:
X is a normally distributed random variable with a mean of 7 and a standard deviation of 2.5. Find the value of X for which 70.54% of the area under the distribution curve lies to the right of it. (Note: the diagram is not necessarily to scale.) (Hint: Find z corresponding to the given area and use X = z (standard deviation) + mean)

Solution:
mean=7
standard deviation=2.5
find X such that
P(z>Z)=.7054
P(z From normal distribution tables, Z=-0.54
Z=mean-0.54(standard deviation)=7-0.54*2.5=5.65
