You can put this solution on YOUR website! A teacher says that the top 10% of the class received an A on the last test. The scores were normally distributed with mean 63 and standard deviation 10. Find the minimum score required to get an A.
------
Find the z-score with a left tail of 0.9 (right tail of 0.10).
----
invNorm(0.9) = 1.2816
----
Find the corresponding score:
x =z*s + u
x = 1.2816*10 + 63
x = 75.816
