If the probability is .06 that a student will score 90 or above on a test whose mean is 78, what is the approximate standard deviation of the distribution of scores assuming the scores are normally distributed? (A) 0.77 (B) 4.74 (C) 7.7 (D) 47.4 (E) 51.2

Suppose a student scored a 65 on a test. The mean of the tests are 72, and the standard deviation is 8. What is the student's z-score?

The population standard deviation of test scores on a certain achievement test is 12. If a random sample of 9 students had a sample mean score of 80 and a sample standard deviation of test scores 15, find a 90 percent confidence interval estimate for the average score of all students.

00:01 Right in this problem, the probability that x is related to 90 is equal to 0 .06.
00:12 And the mean is 78.
00:15 So we can use this to find the standard deviation.
00:20 First we need to find a z score for 0 .06.
00:25 We use the inversion normal function...
