The average adult gets 7.45 hours of sleep each night, with a standard deviation of 0.65 hours. A pharmaceutical company developing a sleep aid is researching how much sleep the top 1% of adults get each night, on average. Use a calculator to find how many hours of sleep must an adult get each night to be in the top 1% if the company is only basing their initial research on the sleep habits of 30 adults.

At least 8.96 hours of sleep to be in the top 1%.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean and standard deviation , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

How many hours of sleep to be on the top 1%?

The top 1% is the 100 - 1 = 99th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.99. So X when Z = 2.327. Then

At least 8.96 hours of sleep to be in the top 1%.

this is a very good question

step-by-step explanation:

i got a hair cut today from my mom not to flex just to flex kim jon un is one rad fellow i'd say you'd need to take the hairline in kinda like a box shape like someone rammed a lego brick into your head. from there you really need to take the top up keeping with that boxy aesthetic, finally coat the whole thing with gel if your country economics are failing or whatever you can just coat it with the starving children's food rations. about 5 orphans per strand is a good ratio. good luck with the fresh cut my dude

what is the question?
