Transform <em>Y</em> to <em>Z</em>, which is distributed N(0, 1), using the formula

<em>Y</em> = <em>µ</em> + <em>σZ</em>

where <em>µ</em> = -16 and <em>σ</em> = 1.21.

Pr[-15.043 < <em>Y</em> ≤ <em>k</em>] = 0.1546

Pr[(-15.043 + 16)/1.21 < (<em>Y</em> + 16)/1.21 ≤ (<em>k</em> + 16)/1.21] = 0.1546

Pr[0.791 < <em>Z</em> ≤ (<em>k</em> + 16)/1.21] ≈ 0.1546

Pr[<em>Z</em> ≤ (<em>k</em> + 16)/1.21] - Pr[<em>Z</em> < 0.791] = 0.1546

Pr[<em>Z</em> ≤ (<em>k</em> + 16)/1.21] = 0.1546 + Pr[<em>Z</em> < 0.791]

Pr[<em>Z</em> ≤ (<em>k</em> + 16)/1.21] ≈ 0.1546 + 0.786

Pr[<em>Z</em> ≤ (<em>k</em> + 16)/1.21] ≈ 0.940

Take the inverse CDF of both sides (<em>Φ(x)</em> denotes the CDF itself):

(<em>k</em> + 16)/1.21 ≈ <em>Φ⁻¹</em> (0.940) ≈ 1.556

Solve for <em>k</em> :

<em>k</em> + 16 = 1.21 • 1.556

<em>k</em> ≈ -14.118
