scores on a test are normally distributed with a mean of 86 and a standard deviation of 3. what is the exam score corresponding to a standard score of -0.95?

Respuesta :

If the test scores are normally distributed then the exam score corresponding to a standard score of -0.95 is 83.15  .

In the question ,

it is given that ,

the mean of the normally distributed score is (μ) = 86 ;

the standard deviation of the normally distributed is(σ)  = 3 ;

we have to find the exam score(z score) corresponding to the standard score of -0.95 .

we know that z-score for the population mean (μ) and standard deviation(σ) is

Z = (x - μ)/σ

rewriting ,

we get ,

x = μ + Zσ

given that standard score (z) is = -0.95 .

the exam score corresponding to z = -0.95 can be calculated using the formula ,

x = μ + Zσ

Substituting Z = -0.95 , μ = 86 and σ = 3 ;

we get ,

x = 86 + (-0.95)×3

x = 86 - 2.85

x = 83.15

Therefore , the exam score corresponding to the standard score of "-0.95" is 83.15  .
