Hi, Previously Posted
Last year, the personal best high jumps of track athletes in a nearby state
were normally distributed with a mean of 205 cm and a standard deviation of+13+cm.
P(205< X <231) = .954%2F2+=+.477
For the normal distribution:
one standard deviation from the mean accounts for about 68.2% of the set
two standard deviations from the mean account for about 95.4%
and three standard deviations from the mean account for about 99.7%.

Hi,
average income is approximately $45,000/year in this state, with a SD of about $9000.
using a normal distribution to approximate values that 89% of houseolds lie
1-.89 = .11, .11/2 = .055 Excel NORMSINV(.055)gives z = 1.59819
1.59819 = (X -45000)/9000
X = 1.598*9000 + 45000 = $59,382
and
-1.59819 = (x -45000)/9000
x = -1.598*9000 + 45000 = $30,618
