Question

In 2019, College Board reported that the mean score for the math section of the SAT was 521 with a standard deviation of 100. A math department at local university would like to give a scholarship to any student that scored in the top 2.5% of students in the math section. What is the minimum score needed to get this scholarship? Assume the scores are normally distributed.

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
