Expert Solution

µ =    94              
σ =    10              
left tailed                  
P( X ≤    85.000   )          
                  
Z =(X - µ ) / σ = (   85   -   94   ) /    10
Z =    -0.900              
P(X ≤   85   ) = P(Z ≤   -0.90   ) =   0.1841
excel formula for probability from z score is =NORMSDIST(Z)                  

her percentile is 18.41 th
