Answer:

Option C) 2.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

The distribution of time to complete a standardized exam is approximately normal.

  • The empirical rule states that for a normal distribution,the data will fall within three standard deviations of the mean.
  • 68% of data falls within the first standard deviation from the mean that is \mu \pm \sigma
  • 95% fall within two standard deviations that is \mu \pm 2\sigma
  • 99.7% fall within three standard deviations that is \mu \pm 3\sigma

The students are given 90 minutes to complete the exam.

90 = 70 + 2(10) = \mu + 2\sigma

Around 95% of the students will fall in this interval \mu \pm 2\sigma.

Around 5% will not fall into this interval.

Thus, around 2.5% of the students will not be able to complete their test in 90 minutes.

We considered 2.5% only because the remaining 5% of students would lie on both sides of the mean. Our requirement was only to calculate students who would not be able to complete test even in 9- minutes so we divided this percentage by 2.
