The probability that you will guess the first answer correctly  =  1/2  =  0.5
The probability that you will guess the second answer correctly  =  1/2  =  0.5
The probability that you will guess the third answer correctly  =  1/2  =  0.5

The probability that you will guess all three answers correctly is

                (0.5) x (0.5) x (0.5)  =  0.125  =  12.5% .

============================

Here are all the ways your answer sheet could wind up:
(R = a right answer.  W = a wrong answer.)

W W W 
W W R
W R W
W R R
R W W
R W R
R R W
R R R

Number of possible ways to score 0 right out of 3 questions:  1 way
Number of possible ways to score 1 right out of 3 questions:  3 ways
Number of possible ways to score 2 right out of 3 questions:  3 ways
Number of possible ways to score 3 right out of 3 questions:  1 way

Statistically, if your answers are all pure guesses, 
then on the average, the score you expect is

      (0 + 33-1/3 + 33-1/3 + 33-1/3 + 66-2/3 + 66-2/3 + 66-2/3 + 100) / 8

   =                  400 / 8

   =                      50%  .  

If you're happy with that score, great !  
Go to the movies the night before the test,
and start guessing.

In 1982 Abby’s mother scored at the 93rd percentile in the math SAT exam. In 1982 the mean score was 503 and the variance of the
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

The percentle for Abby's score was the 89.62nd percentile.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation(which is the square root of the variance) \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Abby's mom score:

93rd percentile in the math SAT exam. In 1982 the mean score was 503 and the variance of the scores was 9604.

93rd percentile. X when Z has a pvalue of 0.93. So X when Z = 1.476.

\mu = 503, \sigma = \sqrt{9604} = 98

So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

1.476 = \frac{X - 503}{98}

X - 503 = 1.476*98

X = 648

Abby's score

She scored 648.

\mu = 521 \sigma = \sqrt{10201} = 101

So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{648 - 521}{101}

Z = 1.26

Z = 1.26 has a pvalue of 0.8962.

The percentle for Abby's score was the 89.62nd percentile.
