z=(x-mean)/sd
a. (130-100)/15=2
P(z =2 or more) is 0.0228
----------------
this is (90-100)/15 or -2/3 to (105-100)/15 or +1/3
probability z is between these is 0.3781
---------------
=(86-100)/15=-14/15, which is 0.1753 or 18th percentile.
--------------
want z for probability of 0.53
that is +0.08
0.08=(x-mean)/15
1.20=x-100
x=101.2
