Scores on the SAT form a normal distribution with 500 and 100 . (1 point each )
What is the minimum score necessary to be in the top 15% of the SAT distribution?
Find the range of values that defines the middle 80% of the distribution of SAT scores.
For a normal distribution, find the z-score that separates the distribution as follows: (1 point each )
Separate the highest 30% from the rest of the distribution.
Separate the lowest 40% from the rest of the distribution.
Separate the highest 75% from the rest of the distribution.
Below is part of a normal distribution table (1 point each )
What does the first column (z) refer to?
What does the second column (larger portion) refer to?
What does the third column (smaller portion) refer to?
The standard normal distribution (Z distribution) is a probability distribution with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1. We can compare raw scores from different scales by converting them to Z scores (that is, standardizing the values). Recall that z = (X-M)/s (where X = the score, M is the mean of the sample, and sis the standard deviation. (substantiate your answers with graphs) ( 1 point a, b/ 2 points for c )
Suppose a population was normally distributed with a mean of 10 and standard deviation of 2. What proportion of the scores are below 12.5?
Let’s say that the average IQ of a group of people is 105 with a standard deviation of 15. What is the standardized (or z- score) of someone:
One year, many college-bound high school seniors in the U.S. took the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). For the verbal portion of this test, the mean was 425 and the standard deviation was 110. Based on this information what percentage of students would be expected to score between 350 and 550?
At Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Professor Snape was concerned about grade inflation, and suggested that the school should issue standardized grades (or z-scores), in addition to the regular grades. How might this work? Harry was in four classes, each with 20 students. Harry’s score, the class mean, and the class standard deviation are given below. Compute his standardized grade in each class. If we judged by standardized grades, where did he do best? Where did he do worst? (2 points each )
When the original Star Wars movie came out (1977), there was much excitement about the movie. Here are some classic problems that were considered soon after. (2 points each )
On the average, it takes Han Solo 45 seconds to check the coordinates and make the jump into hyperspace. The standard deviation on this important task is 5 seconds. When Han and Chewbacca and their passengers are leaving for Alderaan they make the jump in 33 seconds or less. What is the probability of such an accomplishment?
In a space bar, there were 14 storm troopers, 3 Wookies, 9 humans, and 2 scriptwriters. An Android entered, fired a shot, and hit someone in the cheek. What is the probability that a scriptwriter was hit?
Jawas, those jewel-eyes, hooded collectors of robots and scrap, live in the desert and travel by sandcrawler. Their height is normally distributed with a mean of four feet and a standard deviation of 3 inches. The escape exit on the sandcrawler is 46 inches high. What proportion of the Jawas must duck when they use the escape exit?
