assume that the salaries of elementary teachers are nomally distributed with a mean of $36,000 and a standard deviation of $6000. what is the cutoff salary for teachers in the bottom 10%?
-----------------
Find the z-value that has a left tail of 10%:
Ans: invNorm(0.10) = -1.2816...
---
Find the corresponding x-value using x = zs+u
---
x = -1.2816*6000+36000
x = $28310.69
