uppose that grade point averages of undergraduate students at one university have a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 2.5 and a standard deviation of 0.37. Using the empirical rule, what percentage of the students have grade point averages that are no more than 3.24

Answer:

[tex]P(x \le 3.24) = 0.97725[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]\bar x = 2.5[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = 0.37[/tex]

Required

Percentage that is not more than 3.24

The above implies that:

[tex]x = 3.24[/tex]

Calculate z score

[tex]z = \frac{x - \bar x}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]z = \frac{3.24 - 2.5}{0.37}[/tex]

[tex]z = \frac{0.74}{0.37}[/tex]

[tex]z = 2[/tex]

So, the probability is represented s:

[tex]P(x \le 3.24) = P(z \le 2)[/tex]

From z probability

[tex]P(z \le 2) = 0.97725[/tex]

Hence:

[tex]P(x \le 3.24) = 0.97725[/tex]
