Answer:

a) 0.7734

Step-by-step explanation:

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

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

\mu = 101, \sigma = 24

(a) what proportion of children aged 13 to 15 years old have scores on this test above 83 ?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 83. So

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

Z = \frac{83 - 101}{24}

Z = -0.75

Z = -0.75 has a pvalue of 0.2266

1 - 0.2266 = 0.7734

The answer is 0.7734

madam [21]
15%  x
100  1.15        X is your variable, your unknown number and 15% has to always be over 100 , Then you have to cross multiply and divide 100 because that is the only number basically you have to just multiply across and divide 100 to make it to the nearest cent you have to round the last two numbers after the decimal Representing money.. Hope this helps!!
