Answer:

85%

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. Calculate how many students passed on their first try. 20 x 70% is 14, so 14 students passed on their first try.
  2. 6 students retook the test. Half of 6 is 3. Add 3 to the 14 students that passed earlier.
  3. Calculate the percent with the equation 17/20 = 0.85. 0.85 = 85%.

Answer:

Luis would need to have a SAT score of 574.

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.

Nicole's z-score:

ACT scores have a mean of about 21 with a standard deviation of about 5, which means that \mu = 21, \sigma = 5

Nicole gets a score of 24, which means that X = 24. Her z-score is:

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

Z = \frac{24 - 21}{5}

Z = 0.6

What score would Luis have to have on the SAT to have the same standardized score(z-score) as Nicole's standardized score on the ACT?

Luis would have to get a score with a z-score of 0.6, that is, X when Z = 0.6.

SAT scores have a mean of about 508 with a standard deviation of about 110, which means that \mu = 508, \sigma = 110.

The score is:

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

0.6 = \frac{X - 508}{110}

X - 508 = 0.6*110

X = 574

Luis would need to have a SAT score of 574.
