Find a z value to the right of the mean so that 74.5% of the distribution lies to the left of it.

OpenStudy (zarkon):

are you working with a standard normal distribution?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (zarkon):

are you using the normal table

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (zarkon):

find .745 in the middle part of the table...or the number that is closest to it.

OpenStudy (zarkon):

hopefully your table looks like his http://www2.stat.unibo.it/roverato/index_file/clabe-table-Z.pdf

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no actually the table u sent is larger than mine.

OpenStudy (zarkon):

does you table look like this ... http://www.mathsisfun.com/data/standard-normal-distribution-table.html

OpenStudy (zarkon):

ok...that is a very nonstandard table :)

OpenStudy (zarkon):

it starts from zero so instaed of looking up .745 you need to find .745-.5=.245 so find the number closest to .245

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there is 0.242 and 0.258

OpenStudy (zarkon):

.242 is closer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it is 0.65. If 0.245 is bigger than 0.242, the answer might be 0.66??

OpenStudy (zarkon):

using my table it is .66 my calculatoir says it is .658837690612

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks ;)
