Find a z value to the right of the mean so that 74.5% of the distribution lies to the left of it.
are you working with a standard normal distribution?
yes
are you using the normal table
yes
find .745 in the middle part of the table...or the number that is closest to it.
hopefully your table looks like his http://www2.stat.unibo.it/roverato/index_file/clabe-table-Z.pdf
no actually the table u sent is larger than mine.
does you table look like this ... http://www.mathsisfun.com/data/standard-normal-distribution-table.html
ok...that is a very nonstandard table :)
it starts from zero so instaed of looking up .745 you need to find .745-.5=.245 so find the number closest to .245
there is 0.242 and 0.258
.242 is closer
so it is 0.65. If 0.245 is bigger than 0.242, the answer might be 0.66??
using my table it is .66 my calculatoir says it is .658837690612
thanks ;)
