Question

HELP ASAP FOR BRAINLIEST: The mean score for a standardized test is 1700 points. The results are normally distributed with a standard deviation of 75 points. What is the probability that a student will score more than 1700 points? Show work please :)

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the results for the standardized test are normally distributed, we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = test reults

µ = mean score

σ = standard deviation

From the information given,

µ = 1700 points

σ = 75 points

We want to the probability that a student will score more than 1700 points. This is expressed as

P(x > 1700) = 1 - P(x ≤ 1700)

For x = 1700,

z = (1700 - 1700)/75 = 0/75 = 0

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.5

P(x > 1700) = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5
