We're looking for Z such that:
P(Z) < 0.8
From a Z-table, we get Z = 0.84. So the answer is:
w = 6 + (0.84) * 1.8 = 7.5 hours of sleep
Sounds like my engineering days...

Find the z-score a that has the area to the left of is equal to 0.8.
P(z
Use the formula z=(x-饾泹)/饾潏
0.84=(w-8)/1.8
0.84(1.8) + 8 = w
w鈮?.51
P(z

Its good to be clever, but not to show it.
