The scores on the entrance exam at a well-known, exclusive law school are normally distributed with a mean score of 200 and a st

andard deviation equal to 50. At what value should the lowest passing score be set if the school wishes only 2.5 percent of those taking the test to pass? (Round your answer to nearest whole number.)

Answer:

the lowest passing score would be x = 298

Step-by-step explanation:

School wishes that only 2.5 percent of students taking test pass

We are given

mean= 200,

standard deviation = 50

We need to find x

The area under the curve can be found by:

2.5 % = 0.025

So, 1- 0.025 = 0.975

We need to find the value of z for which the answer is 0.975

Looking at the z-score table, the value of z is: 1.96

Now, using the formula:

z = x - mean/standard deviation

1.96 = x - 200/50

=> 1.96 * 50 = x-200

98 = x - 200

=> x = 200+98

x = 298

So, the lowest passing score would be x = 298

I'm a survey of 200 employees, 65% agreed that the management of the cafeteria should be changed. If the confidence interval is
suter [353]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval for population proportion is expressed as

Sample proportion ± margin of error

Margin of error = z × √pq/n

Where

z represents the z score corresponding to the confidence level

p = sample proportion. It also means probability of success

q = probability of failure

q = 1 - p

From the information given,

Sample proportion, p = 65/100 = 0.65

q = 1 - 0.65 = 0.35

n = 200

To determine the z score, we subtract the confidence level from 100% to get α

α = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05

α/2 = 0.05/2 = 0.025

This is the area in each tail. Since we want the area in the middle, it becomes

1 - 0.025 = 0.975

The z score corresponding to the area on the z table is 1.96. Thus, the z score for a confidence level of 95% is 1.96

Margin of error = 1.96√(0.65)(0.35)/200

Margin of error = 0.066 = 6.6%

The maximum boundary of the interval is

0.65 + 0.066 = 0.716
