The 70th percentile is the same as the cutoff recovery time t such that every point above this time falls in the longest 30%, i.e.

\mathbb P(X>t)=0.30

Transform to the standard normal distribution:

\mathbb P\left(\dfrac{X-5.9}{2.5}>\dfrac{t-5.9}{2.5}\right)=\mathbb P(Z>t^*)

where t^* is the z-score corresponding to the cutoff time t, which is approximately t^*\approx0.5244. Solve for t:

t^*\approx0.5244=\dfrac{t-5.9}{2.5}\implies t\approx7.21\text{ days}
