Suppose that 10th grade girls have hair lengths that are normally distributed with a mean of 10 inches and a standard deviation of 4 inches. How long would a 10th grade girl's hair have to be so that it is longer than 80% of all girls?

She would have to be 13.36 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean and standard deviation , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

How long would a 10th grade girl's hair have to be so that it is longer than 80% of all girls?

80th percentile, so the value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.80. So X when Z = 0.84.
