1. A professor grades students on a normal distribution. For any grade x, based on a course mean and standard deviation developed over years of testing, the following scale applies A': course grade 1.6 standard deviation above the mean 'B': course grade between 0.45 and 1.6 standard deviations above the mean C': course grade t 0.45 standard deviations from the mean. Assuming "large sample size", what percentage of students will receive an A in course? 2.61 % 3.78 % 4.95...
. The professor of a large class decides to grade the nal exam on a curve. He will use the following criteria: 15% of students will get a grade of A+ .17% of students will get a grade of A. 11% of students will get a grade of B+ 18% of students will get a grade of B. 9% of students will get a grade of C+ 12% of students will get a grade of C. 10% of students will...
A professor at a local university noted that the grades of her students were normally distributed with a mean of 73 and a standard deviation of 11. Answer the following questions rounding your solutions to 4 decimal places. The professor has informed the class that 7.93 percent of her students received grades of A. What is the minimum score needed to receive a grade of A?
Many students believe (correctly?) that Professor curves his students’ grades so that the class average always ends up with a mean of 75 and a standard deviation of 6. a. If his class has a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 15, do Professor Lander’s work for him and calculate the necessary linear transformation. b. Which students will suffer from Professor Lander’s curving?
A humanities professor assigns letter grades on a test according to the following scheme. The grade of an A is given to the top 13% of scores in the class. The grade of a B is given to the scores below the top 13% and above the bottom 60%. The grade of a C is given to the scores below the top 40% and above the bottom 24%. The grade of a D is given to the scores below the...
Many states have programs for assessing the skills of students in various grades. The Indiana Statewide Testing for Educational Progress (ISTEP) is one such program. In a recent year, 76,531, tenth-grade Indiana students took the English/language arts exam. The mean score was 572 and the standard deviation was 51. Assuming that these scores showed a Normal shape. Use the 68–95–99.7 rule to give a range of scores that includes 95% of these students.
A professor marks an exam and, after compilation of the grades,she finds that her 25 students obtained a class mean of 70%. On the other hand, the median is 74% and the mode is 78%. a) At least how many students scored 74% or more? Explain briefly. b) What could explain that the mean is less than the median? c)Is this grade distribution symmetric, right skewed, or left skewed? Explain briefly. d)One student asks the professor to review his grade....
5. North Carolina State University posts the complete grade distributions for its courses online. The distribution of grades for all students in all sections of Accounting 210 in the spring semester of 2001 was Grade Probability .18 32 34 09 07 a. Using the scale A -4, B-3, C-2, D- 1, and F 0, let Xbe the grade of a randomly chosen b. Let X denote the mean grade for a random sample of 50 students from Accounting 210. Since...
Test scores.M any states have p rograms for assessing the skills of students in various grades. The Indiana Statewide Testing for Educational Progress (ISTEP) is one such p rogram.37In a recent y ear, 76,531, tenth-grade Indiana students took the English/language arts exam. The mean score was 572 and the standard deviation was 51. Assuming that these scores are ap p roximately Normally distributed, N(572, 51), use the 68–95–99.7 rule to give a range of scores that includes 95% of these...
10. Many states have programs for assessing the skills of students in various grades. The Indian Statewide Testing for Educational Progress (STEP) is one such program in arcant year, 76,531 tenth-grade Indiana students took the English language artsexam. The mean score was 572 and the standard deviation was 51. Use the fact that the ISTEP scores are approximately Normal, N 572, 51). Find the proportion of students who have scores greater than or equal to 620. (Fill in the blank...
