Hi There, please always try to copy paste all screenshots into one CONSOLIDATE IMAGE. so that its easy, otherwise i have to do it.
So for scores we know, with mean = = 350 and std. dev = =60
a) Mary Scores 435. This score 435 will represent a point (z-)/ = (450-350)/60 = 1.666
(z+)/ = 800/60 = 13.333
So we have our normal distribution curve as follows
The shaded area will represent the % of students who are better than her.
From normal distribution tables we find this to be equal to 1 - 0.9515 = 0.0485
So Mary's score is better than 95.15% of the students who took the test. So yes MARY WILL BE ADMITTED TO THE UNIVERSITY
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
b) We want probability of test scores to be 370. So again mark up this point on the normal distribution curve.
A score of 370 is represented by a point (z-)/ = (370-350)/60 = 0.333 on the normal distribution curve.
So probability of scores being atlmost 370 = 1 - shaded area.
From Z tables probability of shaded area = 1 - Probabillity value of Z being .333 = 1 - .6293 = 0.3707
So probability of scores being at 370 = .3707
========================================================================================================================
c) Probability of scores bein atleast 375 is represented by a point of (375-350)/60 = .4166 on the normal distribution curve.
So from z tables, probability of scores being at least 375 is given by .6628
For normal distribution, probability is solely dependent on mean and standard deviation. Thus the mean of the distribution of the means never changes.
So no matter how large your sample size is the mean will remain at 350.

USE R COMMANDS PLEASE Exercise 1: Entry to a certain University is determined by a national test. The scores on this test are normally distributed with a mean of 520 and a standard deviation of 80. Use R commands to answers the following questions (a) Tom wants to be admitted to this university and he knows that he must score better than at least 75% of the students who took the test. Tom takes the test and scores 595. Will...
Test scores on a Spanish language proficiency exam given to entering first year students at a certain university have a mean score of 78 with a standard deviation of 9 points (out of 100 points possible). 3.b Suppose a random sample of 50 first year students who took this Spanish placement exam will be selected, each of their scores are recorded, and the sample mean score out of 100 points will be computed. What can be said about the probability...
Question 7 ment a universities, which is going to be held in Fall 2019. For this, students who are interested to be a part of the team should take a test next weekend at the Recreation Center. Based on information from past, the coach, on average, is able to have 5 students tested in 20 minutes. 100 students have registered to take the test. One of the tests will be in the morning from 8:30 am to 11:30 am and...
(2 points) For students in a certain region, scores of students on a standardized test approximately follow a normal distribution with mean u = 543.4 and standard deviation o = 26.9. In completing the parts below, you should use the normal curve area table that is included in your formula packet. (a) What is the probability that a single randomly selected student from among all those in region who took the exam will have a score of 548 or higher?...
In the United States, Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores are used by universities when selecting students for admission. Private companies and high schools offer SAT preparatory courses to help students improve their scores. This has led some people to ask, "Do SAT preparatory classes effectively increase SAT scores?" The following study, cited in a major newspaper, claims that they do (but not by a substantial amount): "A new study . . . shows that [SAT preparatory] classes are effective in...
