I understand that the equation is Z=(X-mean)divided by standard deviation, and that the back of the book says the answer is .7734, but I don't understand what I must put in the calculator to make this data into that answer.
Also, what if I knew the area, but not the z-score? What would I do then?
EDIT: Oh DUH, forgot. The area before the z-score.
