Step 1 1 of 2

Given:

μ = 1810

σ = 92

The middle 80% have 10% of the values below it and 90% of the values below the upper boundary of the middle 80%.

Determine the z-score corresponding to a probability of 10%/90% or 0.10/0.90in table E:

z = ±1.28

The corresponding value is the mean increased by the product of the z-score and the standard deviation (because the z-
score measures the number of standard deviations that the value is removed from the mean).

x = μ + zσ = 1810 − 1.28(92) = 1692.24

x = μ + zσ = 1810 + 1.28(92) = 1927.76
