bonufazy [111]

<u>Answer:</u>

The Ranking Percentile is (B) 97.5%

<u>Explanation :</u>

To find the percentile rank we need to find the z- score. After finding the z-score match this value with the corresponding value in z-score table.

Formula to find the z-score

Z-score= $\frac{\text { scored obtained - mean }(\mu)}{\text { standard deviation }(\sigma)}$

Substituting the values in the above equation, we find

Z-score= $\frac{(694-490)}{102}$ =2

So, the Z-score is +2

Now, the corresponding value of Z-score 2 in the table is 0.9772

or the percentile score is 97.72 ~ 97.5 .
