Hey. Let me help you on this one.
Let's break this problem down so it's easier for us to comprehend it.
There are 850 students in the school, and the amount of female students equals to the amount of male students + sixty additional females.
Amount of students in school = 850 students
Male students =
Female students =
Let's form an equation so we can work with what we have.
Subtract 60 from both sides.
Simplify
Divide both sides by 2.
Answer: There are 395 male students, and 455 female students.

Answer:
So the value of height that separates the bottom 35% of data from the top 65% (Or the 35 percentile) is 146.7.
Step-by-step explanation:
1) 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".
2) Solution to the problem
Let X the random variable that represent the scores on the LSAT of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:
Where and
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 0.35 of the area on the left and 0.65 of the area on the right it's z=-0.385. On this case P(Z<-0.385)=0.35 and P(Z>-0.385)=0.65
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 35% of data from the top 65% (Or the 35 percentile) is 146.7.
