A class of 200 students takes an exam. The students' scores are normally distributed with a mean of 72% and a standard deviation of 10. Find the number of students with scores in each interval.
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "I assume you mean that the standard deviation is 10%
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------- \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "26.P(between 72% and 82%) = ?
\n" ); document.write( "Since 0.82 is 1 standard deviation to the right of 0.72 the
\n" ); document.write( "percentage of the population that is between those limits is
\n" ); document.write( "34%
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "about[?] students = 0.34*200 = 68
\n" ); document.write( "==================================================\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "27. more than 92%
\n" ); document.write( "0.92 is 3 standard deviations to the right of the mean
\n" ); document.write( "The % of the population to the right of 0.92 is 2.275%
\n" ); document.write( "about[?] students = 0.02275*200 = 4.55
\n" ); document.write( "===================================================\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "28. less than 72%
\n" ); document.write( "50% of the population is to below the mean which is 0.72
\n" ); document.write( "about [?] students = 0.50*200 = 100
\n" ); document.write( "===================================================\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "29. between 62% and 92%
\n" ); document.write( "That would be 2 standard deviations to the left to two std. dev. to the right.
\n" ); document.write( "= 100% - 2(0.02275) = 0.9545
\n" ); document.write( "about [?] students = 0.9545*200 = approximately 191
\n" ); document.write( "====================================================
