Question 1179342: A manufacturer knows that their items have a normally distributed lifespan, with a mean of 13.9 years, and standard deviation of 3.7 years.
The 3% of items with the shortest lifespan will last less than how many years?
Give your answer to one decimal place.

one can use invnorm(.03,13.9,3.7) and the answer is 6.94 years or 6.9 years.
z=(x-mean)/sd
z(0.03)=-1.88
so -1.88=(x-13.9)/3.7
and x-13.9=-6.96
x=6.94 years or 6.9 years
