Question 1138409: Using diaries for many weeks, a study on the lifestyles of visually impaired students was conducted. The students kept track of many lifestyle variables including how many hours of sleep obtained on a typical day. Researchers found that visually impaired students averaged 9.25 hours of sleep, with a standard deviation of 2.51 hours.

z for 0.3000=-0.525
z=(x-mean)/sd
=(x-9.25)/2.51
so -1.32=x-9.25
x=7.93 hours
