Answer:

The answer is "18.087 years".

Step-by-step explanation:

For upper class:

[tex]\mu=15.45 \ years\\\\\alpha=2.98 \ years\\\\[/tex]

[tex]P(Z \leq 1.2)[/tex] from the standard normal distribution on the table:

[tex]P(Z \leq 1.2) =0.8849\\\\x=z_{\alpha}+\mu\\\\[/tex]

  [tex]=0.8849 \times 2.98 +15.45\\\\ = 2.637002+15.45 \\\\=18.087 \ \ years\\[/tex]
