For this, it is kind of like a triangle and having to find the diagonal. Let's see what the two legs of the triangle would be.
Leg one= 7 units
Leg two= 8 units
8²+7²= c²
64 + 49=113
√113≈10.6
The line is 10.6 units long.

Math scores on the SAT exam are normally distributed with a mean of 514 and a standard deviation of 118. If a recent test-taker

Answer:

Probability that the student scored between 455 and 573 on the exam is 0.38292.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Math scores on the SAT exam are normally distributed with a mean of 514 and a standard deviation of 118.

Let X = Math scores on the SAT exam

So, X ~ Normal( $\mu=514,\sigma^{2} =118^{2}$ )

The z score probability distribution for normal distribution is given by;

Z = $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\mu$ = population mean score = 514

$\sigma$ = standard deviation = 118

Now, the probability that the student scored between 455 and 573 on the exam is given by = P(455 < X < 573)

P(455 < X < 573) = P(X < 573) - P(X $\leq$ 455)

P(X < 573) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ < $\frac{573-514}{118}$ ) = P(Z < 0.50) = 0.69146

P(X $\leq$ 2.9) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ $\leq$ $\frac{455-514}{118}$ ) = P(Z $\leq$ -0.50) = 1 - P(Z < 0.50)

= 1 - 0.69146 = 0.30854

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 0.50 in the z table which has an area of 0.69146.

Therefore, P(455 < X < 573) = 0.69146 - 0.30854 = 0.38292

Hence, probability that the student scored between 455 and 573 on the exam is 0.38292.
