<PRE><B>Question 298959</B>
To qualify for security officers’ training, recruits are tested for stress tolerance. The scores are normally distributed, with a mean of 62 and a standard deviation of 8. If only the top 15% of recruits are selected, find the cutoff score.
---
Find the z-value that has a right tail of 15%.
That would be invNorm(0.85) = 1.0364
-----
Find the corresponding raw score using x = zs+u
x = 1.0364*8+62
x = 70.29
