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.

Please see the attachments. For reasons I cannot fathom, the Brainly censor seems to think there are unapproved words contained in this text, so I cannot post it as text. Among other things, that means you probably will not be able to copy and paste the formulas into your spreadsheet—you will have to type them.
I apologize if you are offended by any of the words contained in this answer. I hope you will take them in the intended context—a math problem about the use of Excel.
