a) 25.14% percentage of the scores expected to be greater than 600.

b) 7.49% percentage of the scores expected to be greater than 700.

c) 31.56% of the scores are expected to be less than 450.

d) 43.3% of the scores are expected to be between 450 and 600.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

For this problem, we have that:

The College Boards, which are administered each year to many thousands of high school students, are scored so as to yield a mean of 513 and a standard deviation of 130, so $\mu = 513, \sigma = 130$ .

What percentage of the scores can be expected to satisfy each of the following conditions?

a) Greater than 600

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 600

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{600 - 513}{130}$

Z = 0.67

Z = 0.67 has a pvalue of 0.7486.

So there is a 1 - 0.7486 = 0.2514 = 25.14% percentage of the scores expected to be greater than 600.

b) Greater than 700

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 700

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{700 - 513}{130}$

Z = 1.44

Z = 1.44 has a pvalue of 0.9251.

So there is a 1 - 0.9251 = 0.0749 = 7.49% percentage of the scores expected to be greater than 700.

c. Less than 450

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 450

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{450 - 513}{130}$

Z = -0.48

Z = -0.48 has a pvalue 0.31561.

So, 31.56% of the scores are expected to be less than 450.

d. Between 450 and 600

This is the subtraction of the pvalue of X = 600 by the pvalue of X = 450

P = 0.7486 - 0.31561 = 0.433

43.3% of the scores are expected to be between 450 and 600.
