Algebra.Com's Answer #819004 by Boreal(15235)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! You can use the table to find the z-score by looking under the probability of \".7500\" the 75th percentile, which is what the question means. \n" ); document.write( "Also on calculator for 2ndVARS 3invnorm (0.75,0,1) ENTER or +0.67 \n" ); document.write( "z=(x-mean)/sd \n" ); document.write( "0.67=(x-33.8)/1.2 \n" ); document.write( "0.80=x-33.8 \n" ); document.write( "x=34.6 cm \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
