98.37% of women are at a z-score of 2.14, and 2.14*2.7 is 5.78, so the percentile is at 68.98 or 69.0 inches
\n" ); document.write( "99.87% of men are at a z-score of 3.015, and 3.015*2.8 is 8.44, so the percentile is at 68.1+8.44 or 76.5 inches
\n" ); document.write( "The tallest 5% of men are a z-score <1.645
\n" ); document.write( "z*sd=4.61 in
\n" ); document.write( "it would be men below 68.1+4.6 or 72.7 in.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The shortest 5% of women are at a z-score of -1.645, and -1.645*2.7 is 4.4, so it would exclude those more than 4.4 inches shorter than 63.2 or shorter than 58.8 inches.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The basic formula is z=(x-mean)/sd, and solve for the missing variable.
