When we say independent variable, this is the variable in an experiment that is being controlled in order to come up with an answer of a certain problem. In the given scenario above, the independent variable is the sugar consumption. This is the variable that is being controlled in order to know the effects (dependent variable). Hope this helps.

You're looking for the 15th percentile of a normal distribution with <em>µ</em> = 242 and <em>σ</em> = 13, which is to say you want to find <em>x</em> * such that
P(<em>X</em> ≤ <em>x</em> *) = 0.15
Transform the wait-time random variable <em>X</em> to <em>Z</em>, which follows the standard normal distribution with mean 0 and s.d. 1 :
<em>Z</em> = (<em>X</em> - <em>µ</em>) / <em>σ</em> → <em>X</em> = <em>µ</em> + <em>σ</em> <em>Z</em> = 242 + 13 <em>Z</em>
Now,
P(<em>X</em> ≤ <em>x</em> *) = P(242 + 13<em> Z</em> ≤ <em>x</em> *) = P(<em>Z</em> ≤ (<em>x</em> * - 242)/13) = 0.15
Use a calculator (something with an inverse CDF function) or <em>Z</em>-table to look up the <em>z</em>-score, <em>z</em> = (<em>x</em> * - 242)/13, associated with a probability of 0.15. You would find that
<em>z</em> = (<em>x</em> * - 242)/13 ≈ -1.03643
Solve for <em>x</em> * :
<em>x</em> * ≈ 242 + 13 (-1.03643) ≈ 228.526 ≈ 229
