The diameters of oranges found in the orchard of an orange farm follow a normal distribution with a mean of 120mm and a standard deviation of 10mm. The farmer would like to select the largest 20% of oranges (those with the largest diameters) in order to be able to keep them for himself and his family to enjoy! What is the cut-off diameter in this case if oranges with the largest 20% of diameters are to be kept?
