Question

How to find the 80th percentile with mean and standard deviation?

Answer 1

Answer:

First, determine how many standard deviations above the mean one would have to be to be in the 75th percentile. This can be found by using a z table and finding the z associated with 0.75. The value of z is 0.674. Thus, one must be .674 standard deviations above the mean to be in the 75th percentile.
