d. 76.98%
Step-by-step explanation:
Problems of normally distributed samples are 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.
In this problem, we have that:
What percentage of MBA's will have starting salaries of $34,000 to $46,000?
This is the pvalue of Z when X = 46000 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 34000. So
X = 46000
has a pvalue of 0.8849
X = 34000
has a pvalue of 0.1151
0.8849 - 0.1151 = 0.7698
So the correct answer is:
d. 76.98%
I'm not sure what level of math you are at, so I hope it's alright that I used the trig function of tangent. Basically, you just have to find the second base to be able to find the area using the formula for the area of a trapezoid (A = ½h(b₁ + b₂)). To do this, use the information given and a little creativity to create a triangle and find the missing pieces. Finally, plug everything into the equation and voilà. Hope that helps!
