\n" ); document.write( "Find the z-values with a left and a right tail of 0.985
\n" ); document.write( "+/-invNorm(0.985) = +/-2.17
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Find the corresponding hat sizes::
\n" ); document.write( "x = 24.83+/-2.17*0.8
\n" ); document.write( "x = 25.736\" or x = 22.264\"
\n" ); document.write( "Ans: 22.264< circumference <25.736
