Suppose X has a normal distribution with mean 115 and variance 25. Find the 67th percentile of the distribution of X.
Given that the X has a normal distribution with mean
= 115 and variance
= 25, hence the standard deviation is
. To find the 67th percentile of the distribution of X we need to
find the Z score at 67th percentile which is calculated using the
excel formula for normal distribution which is =NORM.S.INV(0.67),
thus the Z is computed as 0.44
Now based on the Z -score formula the 67th percentile is computed as:
Thus the 67th percentile of the distribution of X is 117.2
