The College Board reported the following mean scores for the
three parts of the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) (The World
Almanac, 2009):
Critical Reading |
502 |
Mathematics |
515 |
Writing |
494 |
Assume that the population standard deviation on each part of the
test is = 100.
- What is the probability a sample of 90 test takers will provide
a sample mean test score within 10 points of the population mean of
502 on the Critical Reading part of the test (to 4 decimals)?
Round z value in intermediate calculation to 2 decimals
places.
- What is the probability a sample of 90 test takers will provide
a sample mean test score within 10 points of the population mean of
515 on the Mathematics part of the test (to 4 decimals)?
Round z value in intermediate calculation to 2 decimals
places.
- What is the probability a sample of 100 test takers will
provide a sample mean test score within 10 points of the population
mean of 494 on the writing part of the test (to 4 decimals)?
Round z value in intermediate calculation to 2 decimals
places.
