Answer:
a) 6.68th percentile
b) 617.5 points
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:
a) A student who scored 400 on the Math SAT was at the ______ th percentile of the score distribution.
has a pvalue of 0.0668
So this student is in the 6.68th percentile.
b) To be at the 75th percentile of the distribution, a student needed a score of about ______ points on the Math SAT.
He needs a score of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.75. So X when Z = 0.675.
Step-by-step explanation:
I'll do the first problem as an example.
∠P and ∠H both have one mark. That means they're congruent.
∠T and ∠G both have two marks. So they're congruent.
∠W and ∠D both have three marks. So they're congruent.
So we can write a congruence statement:
ΔPTW ≅ ΔHGD
We can write more congruence statements by rearranging the letter, provided that corresponding pairs have the same position (P is in the same place as H, etc.). For example:
ΔWPT ≅ ΔDHG
ΔTWP ≅ ΔGDH
