Question 421768: Hi, I'm having difficulty in restating this question in a formula:
"find the quintiles of the standard normal distribution"
I know that quintiles is 5, and that a normal distribution is a mirror image for neg. and pos. #. So does this mean (-2.02.0)?
Thanks for your help.

5% left tail: z = -1.6449
10% left tail: z = -1.2816
15% left tail: z = -1.0364
Etc.
