What are deciles?

Deciles are measures of position calculated on a set of data. The deciles are the values that separate a distribution into ten equal parts, where each part contains the same number of observations). The decile is a member of the wider family of quantiles.

Given:

Normal distribution =64.5 inches

Standard deviation=σ =2.5 inches

So, here the z- score for left decile= -1.28

and for right decile= +1.28

we know,

z= x-[tex]\mu[/tex]/σ

x= zσ + [tex]\mu[/tex]

x=-1.28*2.5 + 64.5

x= 61.3  and,

x= 1.28*2.5 + 64.5

x=67.7

hence, the deciles are 61.3 and 67.7
