Question 1104669
This normal distribution says that 50% of the population is below 98.2 degrees and 50% of the population is above 98.2. So the median is the 50 percentile.
:
The 91st percentile is the temperature that holds 91% of the temperatures below it and 9% above it.
:
we let X be the temperature for the 91st percentile, then
:
X = mean + standard deviation * Z
:
Z value for 91st percentile is 1.34(from table of Z values)
:
X = 98.2 + 0.50 * 1.34 = 98.87
