Answer:

26.11% of the test scores during the past year exceeded 83.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be 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}

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:

It is known that for all tests administered last​ year, the distribution of scores was approximately normal with mean 78 and standard deviation 7.8. This means that \mu = 78, \sigma = 7.8.

Approximately what percentatge of the test scores during the past year exceeded 83?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 83. So:

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

Z = \frac{83 - 78}{7.8}

Z = 0.64

Z = 0.64 has a pvalue of 0.7389.

This means that 1-0.7389 = 0.2611 = 26.11% of the test scores during the past year exceeded 83.
