membership in an elite organization requires a test score in the upper 30% range. if the mean is 115 and the standard deviation is 12, find the lowest acceptable score that would enable a candidate to apply for membership. assume the variable is normally distributed.
-------
Use the form x = z*s+u
----
Find the z-value with a left-tail of 0.70
invNorm(0.70) = 0.5244
----------------------------
x = 0.5244*12 + 115
x = 121.29
