Question 3 (2 points) Suppose we transformed the ACT so that it had the same mean and standard deviation as the SMART. A 30 on the ACT is comparable to what score on the SMART? (Report to two decimal places.) Your Answer:

3. Suppose, in the USA, the score of SAT scores are normally distributed with mean 3. μ = 1060 and standard deviation σ = 195. (a) What percent of students will have SAT score more than 1200? (b) What percent of students will have SAT score between 970 and 1210? (c) Suppose a University only admits students who score in the top 36%, what is the minimum SAT score to be admitted? (d) The score of composite ACT scores are also normally distributed with mean μ = 21 and standard deviation σ = 4.7. Suppose two students, Aaron has a ACT score of 25, and Barry has a SAT score of 1200, which score is relatively higher? Explain with calculation.

Based on recent results, scores on the SAT test are normally distributed with a mean of 1511 and a standard deviation of 312. Scores on the ACT test are normally distributed with a mean of 21.1 and a standard deviation of 5.1. Assume that the two tests use different scales to measure the same aptitude. a. If someone gets an SAT score that is in the 95th percentile, find the actual SAT score and the equivalent ACT score. b. If someone gets an SAT score of 2100, find the equivalent ACT score.
