Answer:
a) Percentage of students scored below 300 is 1.79%.
b) Score puts someone in the 90th percentile is 638.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Suppose a student's score on a standardize test to be a continuous random variable whose distribution follows the Normal curve.
(a) If the average test score is 510 with a standard deviation of 100 points.
To find : What percentage of students scored below 300 ?
Solution :
Mean
,
Standard deviation ![\sigma=100](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csigma%3D100)
Sample mean ![x=300](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%3D300)
Percentage of students scored below 300 is given by,
![P(Z\leq \frac{x-\mu}{\sigma})\times 100](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%28Z%5Cleq%20%5Cfrac%7Bx-%5Cmu%7D%7B%5Csigma%7D%29%5Ctimes%20100)
![=P(Z\leq \frac{300-510}{100})\times 100](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3DP%28Z%5Cleq%20%5Cfrac%7B300-510%7D%7B100%7D%29%5Ctimes%20100)
![=P(Z\leq \frac{-210}{100})\times 100](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3DP%28Z%5Cleq%20%5Cfrac%7B-210%7D%7B100%7D%29%5Ctimes%20100)
![=P(Z\leq-2.1)\times 100](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3DP%28Z%5Cleq-2.1%29%5Ctimes%20100)
![=0.0179\times 100](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D0.0179%5Ctimes%20100)
![=1.79\%](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D1.79%5C%25)
Percentage of students scored below 300 is 1.79%.
(b) What score puts someone in the 90th percentile?
90th percentile is such that,
![P(x\leq t)=0.90](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%28x%5Cleq%20t%29%3D0.90)
Now, ![P(\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} < \frac{t-\mu}{\sigma})=0.90](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%28%5Cfrac%7Bx-%5Cmu%7D%7B%5Csigma%7D%20%3C%20%5Cfrac%7Bt-%5Cmu%7D%7B%5Csigma%7D%29%3D0.90)
![P(Z< \frac{t-\mu}{\sigma})=0.90](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%28Z%3C%20%5Cfrac%7Bt-%5Cmu%7D%7B%5Csigma%7D%29%3D0.90)
![\frac{t-\mu}{\sigma}=1.28](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7Bt-%5Cmu%7D%7B%5Csigma%7D%3D1.28)
![\frac{t-510}{100}=1.28](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7Bt-510%7D%7B100%7D%3D1.28)
![t-510=128](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=t-510%3D128)
![t=128+510](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=t%3D128%2B510)
![t=638](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=t%3D638)
Score puts someone in the 90th percentile is 638.
Answer:
28.4 divided by 6.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
y = -2x + 1. => Slope = -2
Then the perpendicular line will have a slope of -1/(-2) = 0.5.
We have y = 0.5x + c.
When x = 4, y = -3.
=> (-3) = 0.5(4) + c, c = -5.
Hence the answer is y = 0.5x - 5. (C)
