The per capita energy consumption level (in kilowatt-hours) in a certain country for a recent year can be approximated by a normal distribution, as shown in the figure. What consumption level represents the 6th percentile? What consumption level represents the 17th percentile? What consumption level represents the third quartile? 2323 kWh 583 kWh 323 2323 4323 kilowatt-hours (a) The consumption level that represents the 6th percentile is (Round to the nearest integer as needed) kilowatt-hours. (b) The consumption level that represents the 17th percentile is (Round to the nearest integer as needed) kilowatt-hours. (c) The consumption level that represents the third quartile is (Round to the nearest integer as needed) kilowatt-hours. Enter your answer in each of the answer boxes.

The per capita energy consumption level (in kilowatt-hours) in a certain country for a recent year can be approximated by a normal distribution, as shown in the figure. (a) What consumption level represents the 88th percentile? (b) What consumption level represents the 21st percentile? (c) What consumption level represents the third quartile? mu = 2296 kWh sigma = 580.2 kWh (a) The consumption level that represents the 88th percentile is kilowatt-hours. (Round to the nearest integer as needed.) (b) The consumption level that represents the 21st percentile is kilowatt-hours. (Round to the nearest integer as needed.) (c) The consumption level that represents the third quartile is kilowatt-hours. (Round to the nearest integer as needed.)

The per capita energy consumption level (in kilowatt-hours) in a certain country for a recent year can be approximated by a normal distribution, as shown in the figure. (a) What consumption level represents the 55th percentile? (b) What consumption level represents the 15th percentile? (c) What consumption level represents the third quartile? μ = 2298 kWh σ = 588.2 kWh A normal curve labeled μ = 2298 kWh and σ = 588.2 kWh is over a horizontal x-axis labeled Kilowatt-hours from 298 to 4298 in increments of 1000 and is centered on 2298. (a) The consumption level that represents the 55th percentile is nothing kilowatt-hours. (Round to the nearest integer as needed.)
