What is the minimum amount requested on the largest 3% of loans?
:
1 - 0.03 = 0.97
:
we look in the table of z-values for the probability 0.97
:
the associated z-value for 0.97 is 1.88, we know that
:
(X - 70000)/20000 = 1.88
:
X - 70000 = 37600
:
X = 107,600
:

:
What is the maximum amount requested on the smallest 10% of loans?
:
we look in the table of z-values for the probability 0.10
:
the associated z-value for the largest of the smallest of the 10% loans is -1.29
:
(X - 70000)/20000 = -1.29
:
X - 70000 = -25800
:
X = 44200
