Question

The time spent (in days) waiting for a heart transplant for people 35-49 can be approximated by the normal distribution what is the 5th percentile with a mean of 212 and a standard deviation of 24.7

Answer 1

I’m guessing that the 5th percentile is app. 2 standard deviations which I think is right. In that case the 5th percentile will tend to wait for 212+2(24.7)= 261.4 (days?). Hope that helps!
