Question 847124:  The number of minutes per week that students spend surfing the internet is normally distributed 						 
with a mean of 490 minutes and standard deviation of 53 minutes.						 
Calculate the probability that the time, in a week, a student spends surfing the internet is	
 
Given that 67% of students spend less than M minutes,			 
calculate the value of M, correct to 1 decimal place.

You can  put this solution on YOUR website! X ~ Normal(490,53)
 
P[X < M] = .67
 
P[Z < (M-490)/53 ] = .67  
 
(M-490) /53 = .44 (using z-table to find the z-score that gives .67)
 
 
M-490 = 23.32
 
M = 513.3
