I don't understand how to do this
\n" ); document.write( "find the value of z such that 48% of the distribution lies between it and the mean
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "There are several ways to work this depending on what tool you
\n" ); document.write( "use. You many be using a z-chart or you may be using a calculator
\n" ); document.write( "or you may be using Excel, or something else.
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "I use a TI calculator.
\n" ); document.write( "I would recommend you draw the normal curve, spot the mean in
\n" ); document.write( "the middle of the distribution, pick some point to the right
\n" ); document.write( "that appears to have 48% of the population between it and
\n" ); document.write( "the mean. Remember that 50% of of the population is to the right
\n" ); document.write( "of the mean so your point is pretty far to the right.
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Now use your z-chart to find the z-value of that point.
\n" ); document.write( "I get invNorm(0.98) = 2.0537..
\n" ); document.write( "Your point is 2.0537 standard deviations to the right of
\n" ); document.write( "the mean.
