Answer:
Given that:
The time spent (in days) waiting for a heart transplant for people ages 35-49 can be approximiated by the normal distribution
Let X be the waiting time
(a) What waiting time represents the 55th percentile?
Let be the percentile , is the value such that 55% values are less than
b) What waiting time represents the third quartile?
