Heights of women are normally distributed with mean 63.7 inches and standard deviation 2.47 inches. Find the height that is the 10th percentile. Find the height that is the 80th percentile.

for 10th percentile, X = 60.53inches

for 80th percentile, X = 61.53 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

the relationship between the mean, standard deviation and the standard normal distribution is given as

X = μ + σZ

where μ is the mean and σ is the standard deviation of the variable X, and Z is the value from the standard normal distribution for the desired percentile.

Hence to determine the 10th and 80th percentile, we lookup the standard normal distribution table attached below,

from the table,

at 10th percentile Z = -1.282

at 80th percentile we interpolate between 75th percentile and 90th

(80 - 75)/(90 - 75) = (Z - 0.675)/(1.282 - 0.675)

5/15 = Z - 0.675/0.607

0.333*(0.607) = Z - 0.675

Z = 0.8771

hence the Z value for the 80th percentile is 0.8771

hence

X value for 10th percentile and 80th is calculated as

X = μ + σZ

since mean = 63.7 and standard deviation = 2.47

For 10th percentile

X = 63.7 + 2.47*(-1.282)

X = 60.53

for 80th percentile

X = 63.7 + 2.47*(0.8771)

X = 61.53

answer: yes, since the line has a steeper rate of change than the exponential the y-values will be greater and they will only intersect one time.

x coordinate is none
