Question 1126908: Suppose the heights of men are normally distributed with mean, μ= 70 inches, and standard deviation , σ= 6 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?
Answer: inches Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The top 15% occur at z=+1.035
Minimum height will be at that level or
z=(x-mean)/sd
1.035*6=x-mean
x=70+6.210=76.21 inches
