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

Express 25km/h into m/s?
Helen [10]

Answer:

3600(seconds) can also be expressed as 1(kilometer/hour) = 5/18 (meters/second), which is its simplified form. To convert km/h to m/s, directly multiply the given value of speed by the fraction 5/18.

Step-by-step explanation:

I think that explanation is obvious
