A population of values has a normal distribution with
μ=87.4μ=87.4 and σ=41σ=41. You intend to draw a random sample of
size n=106n=106.
Find P6, which is the mean separating the
bottom 6% means from the top 94% means.
P6 (for sample means) =

SOLUTION:
Given that,
mean = = 87.4
standard deviation = = 41
n=106
= 87.4
= / n = 41/106=3.98
Using standard normal table,
P(Z < z) = 6%
= P(Z < z) = 0.06
z = 1.555
Using z-score formula
= z * +
= 1.555*3.98+87.4
= 93.6
