Answer:
0.2333 = 23.33% probability this student's score will be at least 2100.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution, and conditional probability.
Normal Probability Distribution:
Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:
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.
Conditional Probability
We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is
In which
P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.
is the probability of both A and B happening.
P(A) is the probability of A happening.
SAT scores (out of 2400) are distributed normally with a mean of 1490 and a standard deviation of 295.
This means that
In this question:
Event A: Student was recognized.
Event B: Student scored at least 2100.
Probability of a student being recognized:
Probability of scoring at least 1900, which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 1900. So
has a pvalue of 0.9177
1 - 0.9177 = 0.0823
This means that
Probability of a student being recognized and scoring at least 2100:
Intersection between at least 1900 and at least 2100 is at least 2100, so this is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 2100.
has a pvalue of 0.9808
This means that
What is the probability this student's score will be at least 2100?
0.2333 = 23.33% probability this student's score will be at least 2100.
