The annual per capita consumption of ice cream (in pounds) in the United States can be approximated by a normal distribution, as shown in the graph.
(a) What is the smallest annual per capita consumption of ice cream that can be in the top 25% of consumption?
----
Find the z-value with a left tail of 75%: invNorm(0.75) = 0.6745
Find the corresponding pounds value using x = z*s+u
x = 0.6745*2.5+16.5 = 18.19 lb.
=============================================
(b) What is the largest annual per capita consumption of ice cream that can be in the bottom 15% of consumption?
invNorm(0.15) = -1.0364
x = -1.0364*2.5+16.5 = 13.91 lbs
=====================================
