Question

The waist girth of 2,500 employees in a large company follows the normal distribution with mean of 36 inches and standard deviation of 4 inches. It has been agreed that the employees whose waist girth belongs to the widest 10% will be forced to attend physical fitness classes with 20 sessions. What is the minimum waist girth (nearest hundredths) of those who will attend the physical fitness classes?

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
