Question 632942
SAT I scores around the nation tend to have a mean scale score around 500, a standard deviation of about 100 points and are approximately normally distributed. A person who scores 300 on the SAT I has approximately what percentile rank within the population? 
------
z(300) = (300-500)/100 = -2
---
P(x < 300) = P(z < -2) = 0.0228
----
So 2.28% of scores are below 300.
---
The percentile rank of 300 is 2%ile
