Many states assess the skills of their students in various grades. One program that is available for this purpose is the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). For eighth-grade students the average music score is approximately Normal with mean 142 and the standard deviation 33 .
(a) Make a table that includes the values (+-0.01) of the scores corresponding to plus or minus one, two, and three standard deviations from the mean. (Low & High)
(b) Make a table that includes intervals (+-0.01) of scores, where approximately 68%, 95%, and 99.7% of the average music scores fall. (Low & High)
Solution
a) Table for plus or minus 1,2,3 standard deviations from mean
b)
A table that includes intervals (+-0.01) of scores, where approximately 68%, 95%, and 99.7% of the average music scores fall. (Low & High) is
| Value | Low | High | |
| one sd | 33 | 109.00 | 175.00 |
| two sd | 66 | 76.00 | 208.00 |
| three sd | 99 | 43.00 | 241.00 |
