Find the two standard scores (z) that correspond to the following. (Enter your answers from smallest to largest. Give your answers correct to two decimal places.)
The middle 75% of a normal distribution is bounded by them
That leaves 25% in the tails.
Each tail has 12.5%
Left boundary = z = invNorm(0.125) = -1.1503
Right boundary = z = +1.1503
----------------------
The middle 83% of a normal distribution is bounded by them.
That leaves 17% in the tails.
Each tail has 8.5%
Left boundary = z = invNorm(0.085) = -1.3722
Right boundary = z = +1.3722
