Question

Scores on the GRE.

Answer 1

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Verbal:

Score, x = 560

Mean, m = 460

Standard deviation, s = 132

Quantitative :

Score, x = 740

Mean, m = 452

Standard deviation, s = 140

a)

Verbal :

X ~ N(460, 132)

Quantitative :

X ~ N(452, 140)

(b)

What is her Z score on the Verbal Reasoning section? On the Quantitative Reasoning section? Draw a standard normal distribution curve and mark these two Z scores.

Zscore = (x - m) / s

Verbal :

Zscore = (560 - 460) / 132 = 0.758

Quantitative :

Zscore = (740 - 452) /140 = 2.057

(c.)

He has a higher standardized score in the quantitative than the verbal score.

(d.)

The Zscore shows that he performed better in the quantitative reasoning than verbal.

(e) Find her percentile scores for the two exams.

(f) What percent of the test takers did better than her on the Verbal Reasoning section? On the Quantitative Reasoning section?

Verbal :

Score greater than 560

P(x > 560) :

Z = (560 - 460) / 132 = 0.758

P(Z > 0.758) = 0.22423 = 22.4%

Quantitative :

Score greater than 740

P(x > 740) :

Z = (740 - 452) / 140 = 2.057

P(Z > 0.758) = 0.0198 = 1.98%
