The SAT is an exam used by college and universities to evaluate undergraduate applicants. The test scores are normally distributed. In a recent year, the mean test score was 1511 and the standard deviation was 315. The test scores of four students selected at random are 1931, 1332, 2230, and 1397. 1.Find the z score that corresponds to each value. 2.Determine whether any of the values are unusual. Give unusual value and very unusual value as needed.
Solution
for 1931:
Z = 1931 -1511 / 315 = 1.333
for 1332
z = 1332 - 1511/315 = -0.568
for 2230
z = 2230 -1511/315 = 2.2823
for 1397
z = 1397 - 1511 /315 = -0.3619
no, none of the values are unusual as they fall in the range of z -6 to 6
