So, I have a distribution with a mean of 75. I was given an upper limit of 80. No more than 2% can exceed this number. How do I calculate the SD?
(A previous problem had a mean of 75 and a standard deviation of 4.2 with an upper limit of 80. 11.7% of the datum exceeded 80, and the z-score of that percent was 1.1905)
I'm thinking, so far, that I would use the ZDMS formula.
Z = I know the 2%, so I think I would make that in to a Z-score, but I don't know how
D = 80
M = 75
S = Need to know
