Answer:
The value is [tex]Z_{\alpha } = 1.439[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The confidence level is C = 85%
Generally the level of significance is mathematically represented as
[tex]\alpha = (100 - 85 )\%[/tex]
[tex]\alpha = 0.15[/tex]
Now from the normal distribution table the critical value of [tex]\alpha[/tex] is
[tex]Z_{\alpha } = 1.439[/tex]
