Solutions

Expert Solution

a)

µ=   75  
σ =    9  
P(X≤x) =   0.02  
      
z value at 0.02=   -2.0537   (excel formula =NORMSINV(0.02))
z=(x-µ)/σ      
so, X=zσ+µ=   -2.054   *9+75
X =   56.516   (answer)

b)

µ=   75  
σ =    9  
P(X≤x) =   0.16  
      
z value at 0.16=   -0.9945   (excel formula =NORMSINV(0.16))
z=(x-µ)/σ      
so, X=zσ+µ=   -0.994   *9+75
X =   66.050   (answer)

c)

µ=   75  
σ =    9  
P(X≤x) =   0.55  
      
z value at 0.55=   0.1257   (excel formula =NORMSINV(0.55))
z=(x-µ)/σ      
so, X=zσ+µ=   0.126   *9+75
X =   76.131   (answer)

d)

µ=   75  
σ =    9  
P(X≤x) =   0.8  
      
z value at 0.8=   0.8416   (excel formula =NORMSINV(0.8))
z=(x-µ)/σ      
so, X=zσ+µ=   0.842   *9+75
X =   82.575   (answer)

e)

µ=   75  
σ =    9  
P(X≤x) =   0.95  
      
z value at 0.95=   1.6449   (excel formula =NORMSINV(0.95))
z=(x-µ)/σ      
so, X=zσ+µ=   1.645   *9+75
X =   89.804   (answer)
