Start with 7/20 .

We can multiply the denominator by anything we want to,
but if we do that, we must immediately multiply the numerator
by the same thing, to avoid changing the value of the fraction.
(I guess you could call this process "un-simplifying" the fraction.)

The denominator is 20 right now, and we want it to be 100 .
So we have to multiply it by 5 .

Immediately, before we forget, we must also multiply the numerator by 5 .

So we end up with 35/100 .

This fraction has exactly the same value as 7/20 .
You should prove that for yourself by simplifying 35/100 .

Scores on a college entrance exam are normally distributed with a mean of 550 and a standard deviation of 100. Find the value th

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

The value that represents the 90th percentile of scores is 678.

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:

$\mu = 550, \sigma = 100$
