If Sarah is in the 75th percentile for height at age 15, how tall is she? the mean is 63.80 and the standard deviation is 2.66 I want to check my answer.

OpenStudy (alexwee123):

ok do you know what the z score of 75% is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I thought I did. I've completely confused myself.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

find the z score by doing inv norm(.75) on your calculator then multiply that number by 2.66( the standard deviation). then add that number to 63.80. Sorry i cant give you a numerical answer, i dont have a graphing calculator on me right now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The result is 65.795

OpenStudy (anonymous):
