Another farmer finds that the weights of sheep on his farm have a normal distribution with mean \(\mu\) kg and standard deviation 4.92 kg. 25% of these sheep weigh more than 67.5 kg.
Find the value of \(\mu\).
Solution
Given that 25% of the sheep weigh more than 67.5 kg, this corresponds to the 75th percentile of the normal distribution. The z-score for the 75th percentile is approximately 0.674.
