Statistics exam scores follow a standard normal distribution with mean 0 and standard deviation 1. Find each of the following probabilities of the given scores.
(a)Less than 2.71
(b)Greater than -0.96
(c)Less than -2.18
(c)Between -1.30 and 0.45
(d)Find the 75th percentile of these Statistics exam scores.
(e) Find the Statistics exam scores that can be used as cutoff values separating the most extreme (high and low) 2% of all scores.
The values corresponding to the given scores shall be obtained from the standard normal distribution table.
a) P(less than 2.71) = P(Z < 2.71)
= 0.9966
b) P(greater than -0.96) = P(Z > -0.96)
= 1 - P(Z < -0.96)
= 1 - 0.1685
= 0.8315
c) P(less than -2.18) = P(Z < -2.18)
= 0.0146
d) Let S be the 75th percentile
P(Z < S) = 0.75
Take Z score closes to 0.7500 from standard normal distribution table.
S = 0.67
75th percentile = 0.67
e) Let the cutoff be between L and H
P(X < L) = 0.02/2 = 0.01
L = -2.33
P(X < H) = 0.99
H = 2.33
Cutoff values separating the most extreme (high and low) 2% of all scores = -2.33 and 2.33

Assume that scores on the verbal portion of the GRE (Graduate Record Exam) follow the normal distribution with mean score 151 and standard deviation 7 points, while the quantitative portion of the exam has scores following the normal distribution with mean 153 and standard deviation 7.67. Use this information to answer the following: (Please round to two decimal places) a) Find the score of a student who scored in the 80th percentile on the Quantitative Reasoning section of the exam....
Example 3 The scores on a midterm exam follow a normal distribution with an average of 80.4% and a standard deviation of 10.9%. Let X represent the score of a given student on this midterm exam. 1. What is the probability that a randomly selected student scores above a 90%? 2. What is the probability that a randomly selected student scores between 80% and 90%? 3. What is the 60th percentile score for this midterm exam?
3. A normal distribution of BMCC MATSI scores has a standard deviation of 1.5. Find the z-scores corresponding to each of the following values: a. A score that is 3 points above the mean. b. A score that is 1.5 points below the mean. c. A score that is 2.25 points above the mean 4.

Scores on an exam follow an approximately Normal distribution with a mean of 76.4 and a standard deviation of 6.1 points. What percent of students scored below 70 points?
The scores on a Statistics exam are normally distributed with a mean 75 with a standard deviation of 5. If nine students are randomly selected what is the probability that their mean score is greater than 68. (a) .0808 (b) -.4000 (c) .9192 (d) .0001 (e) .9999 29. Refer to question 28. Suppose that students with the lowest 10% of scores are placed on academic probation, what is the cutoff score to avoid being placed on academic probation? (a) >...
The final exam grade of a statistics class has a normal distribution with mean of 75.5 and standard deviation of 7. Find the two cutoff values which separate the middle 20% of final exam grades in this class. Lower cutoff is (keep 1 decimal place) Upper cutoff is (keep 1 decimal place)

Suppose that scores on a statistics exam are normally distributed with a mean of 77 and a standard deviation of 4. Find the probability of a student scoring less than 80 on the exam using the following steps. (a) What region of the normal distribution are you looking to find the area of? (to the left of a zscore, to the right of a z-score, between two z-scores, or to the left of one z-score and to the right of...
Question 3: Consider the Standard Normal Distribution with mean 0 and standard deviation 1. Find the following. a) P (z>0.5) b) P(z 1.5) c) P (-0.49 < z1.5) Question 4: If you have a normal distribution with mean 14 and standard deviation of 2. What is P(x >16)? Question 5 Professor Hardy assumes the exam scores are normally distributed and wants to grade "on a curve." The mean score was 68, with a standard deviation of 9, If he wants...
