    The document provides steps for using the inverse normal distribution to find critical values (weights or diameters) for a population based on a given percentage. It explains that you first draw the normal distribution curve for the population. Then identify where the given percentage falls on the curve and look up the corresponding z-value. Finally, use the formula x = μ ± zσ to calculate the critical value, where μ is the population mean, σ is the standard deviation, and z is the z-value from the normal table. It provides an example problem about finding the heaviest 30% of a population of snails with a mean weight of 54g and standard deviation of 8g.

    . Inverse Normal Distribution .

    Theta
    Looking up z
    values
    A population of starfish have mean diameter 84mm p358 Ex
    (standard deviation = 12mm) 24.08
    Application
    The top 5% are less than what diameter?
    Use the probability to find z

    5%
    84 ? 84 ? Use z to find the value x

    80% are heavier than what weight?

    80%

    84 ? 84 ?

    30% are lighter than what weight?


    . Inverse Normal: Steps .
    A population of snails have a mean weight of 54g (standard deviation of 8g)

    (a) The heaviest 30% are over what weight?

    Steps:
    1) Draw a distribution curve.

    2) Draw on where the % given would be.

    3) What probability will be looked up in the table?

    4) Look up probability to get z

    5) x = z The mean what amount?

    6) Is my answer sensible? (Remember units)

    (a) 80% of snails will be over what weight?
