675 people will have score between 85 and 120
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Mean = 100
SD = 15
If we have to find percentage of score between two values we have to find the z-score for both values and then area under the curve for both values
z-score is given by:
for a value x:
So,
For 85:
Now we have to find the area under the curve for both values of z-score. z-score tables are used for this purpose.
So,
For z1 : 0.1587
For z2: 0.9082
The area between z11 and z2:
So the probability of score between 85 and 120 is 0.7495
As the sample is of 900 people, the people with scores between 85 and 120 will be:
900*0.7495 = 674.55 people
Rounding off to nearest whole number
675 people will have score between 85 and 120
