Question 1149473: Scores on an English test are normally distributed with a mean of 33.7 and a standard deviation of 7.2. Find the score that represents the 59th percentile. Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! the z-value for 0.59 probability is z=0.23
z=(z-mean)/sd
0.23=(x-33.7)/7.2
1.656=x-33.7
x=35.356 or 35.4
