The scores of high school seniors on the act college entrance examination in a recent year had mean î¼ = 20.8 and standard deviation ï = 4.8. the distribution of scores is only roughly normal. (a) what is the approximate probability that a single student randomly chosen from all those taking the test scores 21 or higher? (r

To solve this problem, we make use of the z statistic. The formula for z score is:

z = (x – μ) / s

where,

x = is the sample score = 21 or higher

μ = the population mean = 20.8

s = the standard deviation = 4.8

Solving for the z score:

z = (21 – 20.8) / 4.8

z = 0.0417

Next step to do is to find for the p value using the standard distribution tables at z = 0.04. Since we are looking for the probability of getting 21 or higher, therefore this is a right tailed test, hence

p = 0.516

So there is about 51.6% that a student will get a score of 21 or greater.

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !

hello! just here for points! though i wish i knew!
