Standard Score
All problems below with the heading "Standard Score" are based on the data in this problem.
A researcher at Nintendo has access to millions of smartphones. He finds that the mean number of monsters captured each day by people with the Pokémon Go app is 286. The standard deviation for number of monsters captured is per day is 40. The number of monsters captured per day is normally distributed. (It is OK if you don't understand the game. What we have is a normally distributed variable with a mean and standard deviation.)
What percentage of users on a given day capture more than 300 Pokemons?
What percentage of users on a given day capture between 250 and 350 Pokemons?
What number of pokemons were captured at the 25th percentile?
Solution :
Given that ,
mean = = 286
standard deviation = = 40
P(x > 300) = 1 - P(x < 300)
= 1 - P[(x - ) / < (300 - 286) / 40]
= 1 - P(z < 0.35)
= 1 - 0.6368
= 0.3632
Percentage = 36.32%
P(250 < x < 350) = P[(250 - 286)/ 40) < (x - ) / < (350 - 286) / 40) ]
= P(-0.9 < z < 1.6)
= P(z < 1.6) - P(z < -0.9)
= 0.9452 - 0.1841
= 0.7611
Percentage = 76.11%
Using standard normal table,
P(Z < z) = 25%
P(Z < -0.67) = 0.25
z = -0.67
Using z-score formula,
x = z * +
x = -0.67 * 40 + 286 = 259.2
25th percentile = 259.2

Use the given z-score/percentile table to answer the following question: If scores on a test are normally distributed with mean 48 and standard deviation 10, what percentage are above 62? z-score 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 percentile 86.43 88.49 90.32 91.92 93.32
A 100-item test has a mean of 75 and standard deviation of 10. Assuming the scores are normally distributed determine the raw score (rounded to the nearest integer) corresponding to the 25th percentile. (Fill in the corresponding blanks)
Suppose the amount of tar in cigarettes is normally distributed with mean 3.5 mg and standard deviation 0.5 mg. a.) What proportion of cigarettes have a tar content exceeding 4.25 mg? b.) "Low tar" cigarettes must have tar content below the 25th percentile of the tar content distribution. What is the value, which is the 25th percentile of the tar content distribution?
The mean and standard deviation of SAT math exam scores were 527 and 120, respectively, in 2017. Assume that the scores are normally distributed and answer the following questions. a. Find the 30th percentile. b. If your score is 700, what percentage of the students got higher scores than you in 2017? c. What percentage of students got SAT math scores from 400 to 600? d. If your score is 650, what is the percentile of your score?
Determine which score corresponds to the higher relative position. 25) Which is better, a score of 92 on a test with a mean of 71 and a standard deviation of 15, or a Score of 688 on a test with a mean of 493 and a standard deviation of 150? Use the empirical rule to solve the problem. 26) The systolic blood pressure of 18-year-old women is normally distributed with a mean of 120 mmHg and a standard deviation of...

Suppose you are working with a data set in which the mean = 100, and the standard deviation = 20. What is the z-score for Jeff, who has a raw score of 85? What is the z-score for Ashley, who has a raw score of 125? What is the raw score for Vale, who has a z-score of -1.00? What is the raw score for Michael, who has a z-score of 2.00? What proportion of scores lie above Jeff’s...
A z score of 1.25 represents an observation that is a) 1.25 standard deviation below the mean. b) 0.25 standard deviations above the mean of 1. c) 1.25 standard deviations above the mean. d) both b and c Assume that your class took an exam last week and the mean and standard deviation of the exam were 85 and 5, respectively. Your instructor told you that 30 percent of the students had a score of 90 or above. You would...
