Find an unknown mean from a tail probability

If X∼N(μ,62)X\sim N(\mu,6^2) and P(X>82)=0.0478P(X>82)=0.0478, find μ.

Sketch the known tail and standardise its cutoff.

Use the N(0,1) quantile to build an equation for the unknown parameters.

Keep full precision until interpreting the final result.
