Scores on a test in a very large class are bell-shaped and symmetric. The mean on the test was 75, and the standard deviation was 5. What percent of the scores were above 75?

50% of the scores were above 75

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed(bell-shaped) samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean and standard deviation , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. 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, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

What percent of the scores were above 75?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 75. So

has a pvalue of 0.5

1 - 0.5 = 0.5

50% of the scores were above 75

answer: yes i agree that you should not put it on/p>

step-by-step explanation: the reason for this is that it wastes other peoples time and also make them fail as well and that is never good.
