The scores on a test given to all juniors in a school district are normally distributed with a mean of 73 and a standard deviation of 7. Find the percent of juniors whose score is below 66. The percent of juniors whose score is at or below 66 is

Respuesta :

Answer:

The probability of juniors whose score is at or below =0.1587

The percentage of juniors whose score is at or below 66

P(X≤ 66) = 0.1587 = 15 percentage

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:-

Given mean of the Population (μ) = 73

Given standard deviation of the Population(σ) = 7

Let 'X' be the random variable in normal distribution

[tex]Z = \frac{x^{-}-mean }{S.D} = \frac{66-73}{7} = -1[/tex]

The probability of juniors whose score is at or below 66

[tex]P(X\leq 66 ) = P(Z\leq -1)[/tex]

                = 1 - P( Z>Z₁ )

                = 1-( 0.5 +A( Z₁)

               = 0.5 - A(-1)

             = 0.5 - A(1)    (∵ A(-1) = A(1))

            = 0.5 - 0.3413

           = 0.1587

The probability of juniors whose score is at or below 66

[tex]P(X\leq 66 ) = P(Z\leq -1)[/tex]  = 0.1587

The percentage of juniors whose score is at or below 66

P(X≤ 66) = 15 %
