    1.

    Suppose that SAT scores among SFC college students are normally distributed with a mean of 500 and a standard d
    What is the probability that a randomly selected individual from this population has an SAT score at or below 600?
    The probability of a randomly selected individual having a SAT score below or equal to 600 would be 0.8413

    2. Suppose that blood sugar levels are normally distributed with a mean of 100 mg/dl (milligrams per deciliter) and a
    of 10mg/dl. David has a blood sugar level of 85 mg/dl. Calculate and interpret David's z-score.
    David's z-score of -1.5 tells us that it is 1.5 standard deviations below from the mean of blood sugar levels. T
    David's z-score is -1.5 which was calculated by the expression (85 − 100)/10. Moreover, his blood sugar leve
    percentile, which means that 6.68% of the measurements are below David's and 93.32% are above David's.

    3. One year, many college-bound high school seniors in our country took the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). For
    this test, the mean was 425 and the standard deviation was 110. Based on this information what percentage of studen
    to score between 350 and 550?
    After getting the z-scores for both 350 and 550, you check the proportion of scores falling below each of the n
    subtracting them from each other will give you 0.62442. This means that 62.442% of students would be expec
    between 350 and 550.

    4. At State College of our Country particularly UP and PUP, a group of Professor were concerned about grade inflatio
    that the Universities should issue standardized grades (or z-scores), in addition to the regular grades. How might this
    four classes, each with 20 students. Juan’s score, the class mean, and the class standard deviation are given below. Co
    standardized grade in each class. If we judged by standardized grades, where did he do best? Where did he do worst?

    In terms of standardized scores, Juan did best in Mathematics in the Modern World, where he was above ave
    Even though his best grade was in Rizal, the class as a whole had a higher mean, such that Juan was fairly c

    5. A normal distribution of scores has a standard deviation of 10 and a mean of 0. Find the z-scores corresponding to
    following values:
    A score that is 20 points above the mean. = 2
    A score that is 10 points below the mean. = -1
    A score that is 15 points above the mean. = 1.5
    A score that is 30 points below the mean. = -3

    6. Six-week-old babies consume a mean of μ = 15 ounces of milk per day, with a standard deviation σ = 2 ounces. As
    distribution is normal. Find the probability that a randomly chosen baby consumes the following amounts of milk per
    Less than 15 ounces. = 0.5
    More than 17 ounces. = 1-0.8413 (since the z-score shown at the table tells us the probability of a randomly c
    consuming less than 17 ounces per day) = 0.1587
    Between 17 and 19 ounces. = 0.977249868-0.8413 = 0.135949868
