The claim is that the IQ scores of statistics professors are normally distributed, with a mean greater than greater than 127. A sample of 26 professors had a mean IQ score of 128 with a standard deviation of 12. Find the value of the test statistic.
Scores on a certain test were normally distributed with a mean of 80 and a standard deviation of ± 12. What is the probability that a given student got a score more than 80? Your answer should be correct to four decimal places.
The board of examiners that administers the real estate brokerʹs examination in a certain state found that the mean score on the test was 375 and the standard deviation was 36. If the board wants to set the passing score so that only the best 80% of all applicants pass, what is the passing score? Assume that the scores are normally distributed
