Exercise 33

Suppose X ~ (1.05, 0.01). Use a standard normal table to determine the .75-quantile −1(.75) of X.

Solution

We have the mean and standard deviation of X as = 1.05 and = 0.10. By [3.91] and [3.92], we calculate m = .044 and s = .095. Accordingly, X = exp(.095Z + .044), where Z ~ N(0,1). Denote the CDFs of X and Z as and . From the standard normal table

[s1]

[s2]
[s3]
[s4]
[s5]

Accordingly, the .75-quantile of X is 1.11.
