According to the College Board website, the scores on the math part of the SAT (SAT-M) in a recent year had a mean of 507 and st

andard deviation of 111. Assume that SAT-M scores have a normal probability distribution. One of the criteria for admission to a certain engineering school is an SAT-M score in the 98th percentile. This means the score is in the top 2% of scores. Find the actual SAT-M score marking the 98th percentile? Show your work. Interpret your result. Note: You will need the Inverse Normal Distribution Calculator below.

Answer:

The actual SAT-M score marking the 98th percentile is 735.

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 \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.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 507, \sigma = 111

Find the actual SAT-M score marking the 98th percentile

This is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.98. So it is X when Z = 2.054. So

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

2.054 = \frac{X - 507}{111}

X - 507 = 2.054*111

X = 735

What is the justification for each step in solving the inequality?
alekssr [168]
HELLO  ANNA!!

Given inequality
=> −2(x+1)≥3x+8
=>
- 2x - 2 \geqslant 3x + 8 \\ \\ add \: 2 \: in \: both \: sides \\ \\ - 2x \geqslant 3x + 10 \\ \\ subtract \: with \: - 3x \: in \: both \: sides \: \\ \\ - 5x \geqslant 10 \\

now multiply with - on both sides.

As we know now sign will change
=> 5x >_ -10

Now divide by 5 on both sides
=> x >_ -2
HOPE IT HELPED YOU.
