Hi, I'm working on an assignemnt question, and I'm sort of lost.:(( The question goes a s follows: The data are drawn from a distribution N(310,85). How low must the price of a house be in order to to be put in the bottom 5% of the distibution? I know I have to calculate the area under the curve, I also know that I have to find the area right to those 5% which is 95% and I have all the numbers in the table, what i dont know is how do i get that point???? Tnx. maja
