1) Suppose that the student score in a high school (X) is normally distributed with a mean of 24.3 and a standard deviation of 4.2. Assume a student who took the test was randomly selected. a) Find the probability that the student's score is less than 20. b) Find the probability that the student's score lies between 25 and 30. c) A random sample of 100 student was selected. What is the probability that the sample average score is between 25 and 30? 2) Suppose that Z is a standard normal random variable, find the following probabilities: a) $P(Z > 1.55)$ b) $P(0.52 < Z < 2.33)$ c) $P(Z > -0.75)$

The scores of students on the SAT college entrance examinations at a certain high school had a normal distribution with mean μ = 556.1 and standard deviation σ = 27.5. (a) What is the probability that a single student randomly chosen from all those taking the test scores 561 or higher? ANSWER: For parts (b) through (d), consider a simple random sample (SRS) of 30 students who took the test. (b) What are the mean and standard deviation of the sample mean score x̄, of 30 students? The mean of the sampling distribution for x̄ is: The standard deviation of the sampling distribution for x̄ is: (c) What z-score corresponds to the mean score x̄ of 561? ANSWER: (d) What is the probability that the mean score x̄ of these students is 561 or higher? ANSWER:
