The average test verbal score is 490, with a standard deviation
of 96.
a) Use the Empirical Rule to determine what percent of the
scores lie between 298 and 586.
b) To some, a score of 600 may seem very high compared to the
mean of 490. Use the standard deviation to explain why we would not
say 600 is unusually high. (Consider data values outside two
standard deviations to be unusual and outside of three standard
deviations to be an outlier.)
2. Discuss the correctness of the above problem and solution.
You should attempt the problem before replying and discuss any
differences in the work.
Your other replies should attempt to discuss the problem Here
are some suggestions:
a) Discuss what you learned from the
problem.
b) Discuss something the problem made you think
about.
c) If we were to change the problem slightly,
address how the answer would change.
A= 81.86%
B= Two standard deviations fall between 298-682 @ 95%, and Three
standard deviations fall between 202-778 @ 99.7% so a score of 600
is not unreasonable.
