\n" ); document.write( "Round your answer to two decimal places.
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Find the z-value with a 98% left tail = invNorm(0.98) = 2.0537
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Find the corresponding x-value using x = zs+u
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2.0537*1+14.4 = 16.45 inches
