Question 1196427
<font color=black size=3>
According to the Empirical rule, roughly 68% of the population from a normal distribution is between z = -1 and z = 1
I.e. about 68% of the population is within 1 standard deviation of the mean.


P(-1 < z < 1) = 0.68 approximately
This leaves 1-0.68 = 0.32 as the area of the two tails combined
P(z < -1 or z > 1) = 0.32 approximately


One tail is 0.32/2 = 0.16
About 16% of the area is to the left of z = -1
P(z < -1) = 0.16 approximately


mu = 22.7 = mean
sigma = 3.22 = standard deviation


Let's find the raw score x based on the z score z = -1
So,
z = (x - mu)/sigma
-1 = (x - 22.7)/(3.22)
-1*3.22 = x - 22.7
-3.22 = x - 22.7
-3.22 + 22.7 = x
19.48 = x
x = 19.48
x = 19.5


Answer: 19.5
