Jesse was ranked 37th in his graduating class of 182 students. At what percentile is Jesse’s ranking?
Solution:
Jesse was ranked 37th in his graduating class of 182 students.
The number of scores below Jesse = 36
Now , the percentile rank is given by
Percentile Rank = (Number of values below "X" / Total number of Values) * 100
= (36/182)*100
= 19.7802197802
= 20 nearly
Jesse’s ranking is at 20th percentile.

Jesse Brimhall is single. In 2019, his itemized deductions were $9,000 before considering any real property taxes he paid during the year. Jesse’s adjusted gross income was $70,000 (also before considering any property tax deductions). In 2019, he paid real property taxes of $3,000 on property 1 and $1,200 of real property taxes on property 2. He did not pay any other deductible taxes during the year. b.If property 1 is Jesse’s business building (he owns the property) and property...
4. Imagine that Jesse and Chris, students in our BMS 316 class, are fighting about metabolism and motility. Jesse predicts that E coli will be motile in liquid when making its ATP by aerobic respiration but non-motile in liquid when making its ATP by fermentation. Chris says Jesse is wrong, that there is a way for E coli to be motile in liquid in either situation What is the most sensible basis for Jesse's prediction? It turns out that Chris...
In a high school graduating class of 100 students, 54 studied mathematics, 69 studied history, and 35 studied both mathematics and history. If one of these students is selected at random, find the probability that (a) the student took mathematics or history; (b) the student did not take either of these subjects; (c) the student took history but not mathematics. . . . The probability that a married man watches a certain television show is 0.4, and the probability that...
1 5.) In a high school graduating class of 100 students. 54 studied mathematics. 69 studied history. and 35 studied both mathematies and history. If one of these students is selected at random, find the prob- ability that (a) the student takes mathematics or history b) the student does not take either of these sub- jeets: c) the student takes history but not mathematics.
In the senior year of a high school graduating class of 80 students, 34 studied mathematics, 58 studied psychology, 44 studied history, 16 studied both mathematics and history, 23 studied both mathematics and psychology, 7 studied history but neither mathematics nor psychology, 8 studied all three subjects, and 4 did not take any of the three. If a student who studied mathematics is selected, what is the probability that the student has also studied psychology? [The answer should be a...
A statistics professor is interested in knowing whether students from his management class and students from his accountancy class perform differently from one another. A sample of nine students was taken randomly from each class. The results are shown below. BS ACCOUNTANCY 88.77 84.06 77.99 83.65 63.1 52 81.66 89.46 80.1 BS MANAGEMENT 62.73 85.13 75.04 67.63 79.72 63.44 65.23 71.52 80.92 what will be the best conclusion? a. The BS Mnagament students perform better in statistics than the BS...
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?

Computing Z scores A teacher wanted to know how well the gifted students in here class perform relative to her other classes. She administers a standardized test with a mean of 50 and standard deviation of 10. Her class of 31 students has an average score of 55, what percent of classes is their average score higher than? 2. A researcher wanted to study the effects of mentoring on intelligence scores. He wanted to know as a baseline what the...
What minimum Z score does a student need to get to be ranked in the top 1% of her/his class? (Use the Z table) O around 0.25 O around 2.33 O between 3.5 and 4.0 O around 1 Question 15 1 pts A sample was collected to test a hypothesis.
