Answer:

a) A score of 65 is in the 79.67th percentile.

b) A score less than 70 is below the 95.25th percentile.

c) 20.33% of the scores are greater than 65.

d) 95.25% of scores are less than 70.

e) 45.25% of the scores are between 50 and 60.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

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

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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

The mean is 60 and the standard deviation is 6.

This means that \mu = 60, \sigma = 6

a. what is the percentile rank of the score 65?

This is the p-value of Z when X = 65.

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

Z = \frac{65 - 60}{6}

Z = 0.83

Z = 0.83 has a p-value of 0.7967.

Thus: A score of 65 is in the 79.67th percentile.

b. what is the percentile of the score less than 70?

Below the p-value of Z when X = 70. So

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

Z = \frac{70 - 60}{6}

Z = 1.67

Z = 1.67 has a p-value of 0.9525.

Thus: A score less than 70 is below the 95.25th percentile.

c. what is percent of the scores is greater than 65?

The proportion is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 65.

From item a, when X = 65, Z has a p-value of 0.7967

1 - 0.7967 = 0.2033

0.2033*100% = 20.33%

20.33% of the scores are greater than 65.

d. what percent of scores is less than 70?

The proportion is the p-value of Z when X = 70, which, from item b, is of 0.9525.

0.9525*100% = 95.25%

95.25% of scores are less than 70.

e. what percent of the score is between 50 and 60?

The proportion is the p-value of Z when X = 60 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 50.

X = 60

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

Z = \frac{60 - 60}{6}

Z = 0

Z = 0 has a p-value of 0.5.

X = 50

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

Z = \frac{50 - 60}{6}

Z = -1.67

Z = -1.67 has a p-value of 0.0475.

0.5 - 0.0475 = 0.4525

0.4525*100% = 45.25%

45.25% of the scores are between 50 and 60.

A set of middle school student heights are normally distributed with a mean of 150 centimeters and a standard deviation of 20 ce
julsineya [31]

Answer:

The proportion of students whose height are lower than Darnell's height is 71.57%

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is:

A set of middle school student heights are normally distributed with a mean of 150 centimeters and a standard deviation of 20 centimeters. Darnel is a middle school student with a height of 161.4cm.

What proportion of proportion of students height are lower than Darnell's height.

Answer:

We first calculate the z-score corresponding to Darnell's height using:

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

We substitute x=161.4 , \mu=150, and \sigma=20 to get:

Z=\frac{161.4-150}{20} \\Z=0.57

From the normal distribution table, we read 0.5 under 7.

The corresponding area is 0.7157

Therefore the proportion of students whose height are lower than Darnell's height is 71.57%

What’s 22,000 - 407% of 60?
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

21,755.8

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this equation, we must first find 407% of 60.

To do this, place the percent over 100 (fraction form), then, multiply it by the number you're finding the percentage of.

407/100 x 60/1 = 24,420/100

24420 / 100 = 244.2

244.2 is 407% of 60.

Lastly, you subtract 244.2 from 22,000.

22,000 - 244.2 = 21,755.8

0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

0.02 is equal to 2/100 and 0.8 is equal to 80/100

so you could really choose any number between 0.03 and 0.79
