Answer:

\(z=\pm 0.674\)
\(\frac{k-15.8}{4.2}=0.674\)
\(18.6\)

Knowledge points:

5.5.1 understand the use of a normal distribution to model a continuous random variable, and use normal distribution tables (Sketches of normal curves to illustrate distributions or probabilities may be required.)
5.5.2.2 finding a relationship between $x_{1}, \mu$ and $\sigma $ given the value of $P\left(X>x_{1}\right)$ or a related probability (For calculations involving standardisation, full details of the working should be shown.) (e.g. $Z=\frac{(X-\mu)}{\sigma}$)
