Question 866798: Please help me solve this problem.
Suppose the height of men are normally distributed with mean of 69.5 inches, and standard deviation of 2 inches. Suppose admission to a summer basketball camp requires that a camp participant must be in the top 15% of men's heights, what is the minimum height that a camp participant can have in order to meet the camp's height admission requirement?
THANK YOU!

Hi

69.5 inches, and standard deviation of 2 inches.

invNorm(.85) = 1.0364

z = 1.0364 = (X - 69.5)/2

2(1.0364) + 69.5 = X = 71.5728.  71.6in  min height for admission
