a.The lifetime of ZZZ batteries are normally distributed with a mean of 270 hours and a standard deviation of 10 hours. Find the number of hours that represent the 40th percentile.
---
Find the z-value that has a left tail of 40%
---
z = invNorm(0.40) = -0.2533
---
Find the corresponding x-value using x = zs+u:
--
x = -0.2533*10 + 270
x = 267.46
Round up to x = 268
===============================
b.Scores on an English placement test are normally distributed with a mean of 55 and standard deviation of 6.5. Find the score that marks the top 5%.
---
Find the z-value with a left tail of 95%.
invNorm(0.95) = 1.645
Find the corresponding x value:
x = 1.645*10+270 = 286.45
Round up to x = 287
