Answer:
And if we solve for a we got
So the value of height that separates the bottom 85% of data from the top 15% is 25.27.
Step-by-step explanation:
Previous concepts
Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".
The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".
Solution to the problem
Let X the random variable that represent the finishing time of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:
Where and
Solution to the problem
For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:
(a)
(b)
Both conditions are equivalent on this case. We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.
As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.85 of the area on the left and 0.15 of the area on the right it's z=1.04. On this case P(Z<1.04)=0.85 and P(z>1.04)=0.15
If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:
But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:
And if we solve for a we got
So the value of height that separates the bottom 85% of data from the top 15% is 25.27.

Answer:
- maximum: 15∛5 ≈ 25.6496392002
- minimum: 0
Step-by-step explanation:
The minimum will be found at the ends of the interval, where f(t) = 0.
The maximum is found in the middle of the interval, where f'(t) = 0.
This derivative is zero when the numerator is zero, at t=5. The function is a maximum at that point. The value there is ...
f(5) = (∛5)(20-5) = 15∛5
The absolute maximum on the interval is 15∛5 at t=5.
