1. Identify known values:
\mu = 75
\sigma = 6
z = -1.28

2. Use the z-score formula rearranged for \( X \):
X = \mu + z \times \sigma

3. Substitute the values into the formula:
X = 75 + (-1.28) \times 6

4. Calculate:
X = 75 - 7.68
X = 67.32

5. Therefore, the highest score within the bottom 10% is:
X = 67.32
