Answer:

a) The percentage of athletes whose GPA more than 1.665 is 87.49%.

b) John's GPA is 3.645.

Step-by-step explanation:

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 = 2.7, \sigma = 0.9

a)Find the percentage of athletes whose GPA more than 1.665.

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 1.665. So

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

Z = \frac{1.665 - 2.7}{0.9}

Z = -1.15

Z = -1.15 has a pvalue of 0.1251

1 - 0.1251 = 0.8749

The percentage of athletes whose GPA more than 1.665 is 87.49%.

b) John's GPA is more than 85.31 percent of the athletes in the study. Compute his GPA.

His GPA is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.8531. So it is X when Z = 1.05.

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

1.05 = \frac{X - 2.7}{0.9}

X - 2.7 = 1.05*0.9

X = 3.645

John's GPA is 3.645.
