Answer:

(a) 93.19%

(b) 267.3

Step-by-step explanation:

The population mean and standard deviation are given as 502 and 116 respectively.

Consider, X be the random variable that shows the SAT critical reading score is normally distributed.

(a) The percent of the SAT verbal scores are less than 675 can be calculated as:

[tex]P(X<675)=P(Z<\frac{675-502}{116})\\ P(X<675)=P(Z<\frac{675-502}{116})\\P(X<675)=P(Z<1.49)\\P(X<675)= 0.9319[/tex]

Thus, the required percentage is 93.19%

(b)

The number of SAT verbal scores that are expected to be greater than 575 can be calculated as:

[tex]P(X>575)=P(\frac{x-502}{116}>\frac{575-502}{116}\\P(X>575)=P(Z>\frac{575-502}{116})\\P(X>575)=P(Z>0.6293)\\P(X>575)=0.2673[/tex]

So,

Out of 1000 randomly selected SAT verbal scores, 1000(0.2673) = 267.3 are expected to have greater than 575.
