Question

Use the normal distribution of SAT critical reading scores for which the mean is 502 and the standard deviation is 116. Assume the variable x is normally distributed. left parenthesis a right parenthesis(a) What percent of the SAT verbal scores are less than 675? left parenthesis b right parenthesis(b) If 1000 SAT verbal scores are randomly selected, about how many would you expect to be greater than 575? left parenthesis a right parenthesis(a) Approximately nothing% of the SAT verbal scores are less than 675. (Round to two decimal places as needed.)

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) 93.19%

(b) 267.3

Step-by-step explanation:

The population mean and standard deviation are given as 502 and 116 respectively.

Consider, X be the random variable that shows the SAT critical reading score is normally distributed.

(a) The percent of the SAT verbal scores are less than 675 can be calculated as:

$P(X$

Thus, the required percentage is 93.19%

(b)

The number of SAT verbal scores that are expected to be greater than 575 can be calculated as:

$P(X>575)=P(\frac{x-502}{116}>\frac{575-502}{116}\\P(X>575)=P(Z>\frac{575-502}{116})\\P(X>575)=P(Z>0.6293)\\P(X>575)=0.2673$

So,

Out of 1000 randomly selected SAT verbal scores, 1000(0.2673) = 267.3 are expected to have greater than 575.
