Answer:

920 points.      

Step-by-step explanation:    

We have been given that the mean score for a standardized test is 800 and the standard deviation is 120. To qualify for a special summer camp for accelerated students, a student must score within the top 16% of all scores on the test.

First of all we will find probability of 0.16 using normal distribution table.

Using normal distribution our Z score will be 0.994458

Now we will use raw-score formula to find the score (x) that a student must make to qualify for summer camp.  

x=\text{Mean}+\text{ Standard deviation* Z score}

Upon substituting our given values in above formula we will get,

x=800+120\times 0.994458

x=800+119.33496

x=919.33496

Upon rounding to nearest whole number we will get,

x=920

Therefore, a student must make 920 points to qualify for summer camp.
