The final exam scores in a statistics class were normally distributed with a mean of 70 and a standard deviation of five. What is the probability that a student scored less than 55% on the exam?

Respuesta :

The probability that a student scored less than 55% on the exam is 0.134%.

What is a normal distribution?

It's the probability curve of a continuous distribution that's most likely symmetric around the mean. On the Z curve, at Z=0, the chance is 50-50. A bell-shaped curve is another name for it.

We have:

Mean of the sample = 70

Standard deviation = 5

= P(X<55%)

Z = (55-70)/5

Z = -3

P(X < -3)

From the Z table:

P(x<-3) = 0.0013499

or

P(x<-3) = 0.134%  

Thus, the probability that a student scored less than 55% on the exam is 0.134%.
