In a recent study on world​ happiness, participants were asked to evaluate their current lives on a scale from 0 to​ 10, where 0

represents the worst possible life and 10 represents the best possible life. The mean response was 5.9 with a standard deviation of 2.2.
​(a) What response represents the 92nd ​percentile? ​

(b) What response represents the 62nd ​percentile?

​(c) What response represents the first ​quartile?

Answer:

a) A response of 8.9 represents the 92nd ​percentile.

b) A response of 6.6 represents the 62nd ​percentile.

c) A response of 4.4 represents the first ​quartile.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 5.9

Standard Deviation, σ = 2.2

We assume that the distribution of response is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

a) We have to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.92

P(X < x)  

P( X < x) = P( z < \displaystyle\frac{x - 5.9}{2.2})=0.92

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(z

\displaystyle\frac{x - 5.9}{2.2} = 1.405\\x = 8.991 \approx 8.9

A response of 8.9 represents the 92nd ​percentile.

b) We have to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.62

P(X < x)  

P( X < x) = P( z < \displaystyle\frac{x - 5.9}{2.2})=0.62

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(z

\displaystyle\frac{x - 5.9}{2.2} = 0.305\\x = 6.571 \approx 6.6

A response of 6.6 represents the 62nd ​percentile.

c) We have to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.25

P(X < x)  

P( X < x) = P( z < \displaystyle\frac{x - 5.9}{2.2})=0.25

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(z

\displaystyle\frac{x - 5.9}{2.2} = -0.674\\x = 4.4172 \approx 4.4

A response of 4.4 represents the first ​quartile.

est scores for a statistics class had a mean of 79 with a standard deviation of 4.5. Test scores for a calculus class had a mean
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

The z-score for the statistics test grade is of 1.11.

The z-score for the calculus test grade is 7.3.

Due to the higher z-score, the student performed better on the calculus test relative to the other students in each class

Step-by-step explanation:

Z-score:

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question:

The grade with the higher z-score is better relative to the other students in each class.

Statistics:

Mean of 79 and standard deviation of 4.5, so \mu = 79, \sigma = 4.5

Student got 84, so X = 84

The z-score is:

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

Z = \frac{84 - 79}{4.5}

Z = 1.11

The z-score for the statistics test grade is of 1.11.

Calculus:

Mean of 69, standard deviation of 3.7, so \mu = 69, \sigma = 3.7

Student got 96, so X = 96

The z-score is:

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

Z = \frac{96 - 69}{3.7}

Z = 7.3

The z-score for the calculus test grade is 7.3.

On which test did the student perform better relative to the other students in each class?

Due to the higher z-score, the student performed better on the calculus test relative to the other students in each class
