Answer:
4.464 ml
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
mean (μ) = 5 mm, standard deviation (σ) = 0.4 ml
The z score is a score in statistics used to determine by how many standard deviation the raw score is above or below the mean. If the z score is positive then the raw score is above the mean and if the z score is negative then the raw score is below the mean It is given by:
[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
From the normal distribution table, the 9th percentile (0.09) corresponds to a z score of -1.34
[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\-1.34=\frac{x-5}{0.4}\\\\x-5=-0.536\\\\x=5-0.536\\\\x=4.464[/tex]
The dye amount that represents the 9th percentile of the distribution is 4.464 ml
