Answer 2

Answer:

169

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to use a Z-table for this.

There are different tables, in this table i searched for the probability of 97% because that equivalent to the top 3%.

for 0.97, Z = 1.88

The formula of Z is:

$Z = (x-mean)/(st. dev.)$

Solving x:

$1.88 = (x-150)/10 \\x = 168.8 = 169$
