Find the standard score (z) such that the area above the mean and below z under the normal curve is 0.4882.
---------------
Draw the picture.
----
The right tail must be 0.5000-0.4882 = 0.0118
----
Find the z-value with a left tail of 0.0118
invNorm(0.0118) = -2.2636
---
By symmetry your answer is +2.2636
