You can put this solution on YOUR website! assume that the random variable X is normally distributed, with mean m = 50 and standard deviation s = 7. Find each indicated percentile for X.
The 90th percentile?
------
Find the z-value with a left-tail of 0.9
invNorm(0.9) = 1.2816
-----
Find the corresponding raw score::
x = 1.2816*7 + 50
x = 58.97
