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 for the problem
Let X the random variable that represent the heights of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:
Where
and ![\sigma=3.6](/tpl/images/0405/1048/48bd9.png)
We are interested on the first quartile, that means the value that accumulates 25% of the area blow.
And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:
We can find a value on the normal standard distribution that accumulats 0.25 of the area on the left and then we can solve for x from the z score formula.
The value that accumulates 0.25 of the area on the left can be founded using the following excel code:
"=NORM.INV(0.25,0,1)" and gives to us![z=-0.674](/tpl/images/0405/1048/64c59.png)
Solving for x from the z score formula we got:
And replacing the values we got:
