Work Step by Step

5% = 0.05 We need to find a z-score so that the area of the standard normal curve to the right of this z-score is equal to 0.05. It means that the area of the standard normal curve to the left of this z-score is equal to $1-0.05=0.95$. According to the Table V, the z-score which gives the closest value to 0.95 is 1.64. $z=\frac{X-μ}{σ}$ $1.64=\frac{X-7}{0.8}$ $1.64\times0.8=X-7$ $1.312=X-7$ $X=1.312+7=8.312$
