Question

Scores on a certain intelligence test for children between ages 13 and 15 years are approximately normally distributed with \mu = 96 and \sigma = 27.

(a) What proportion of children aged 13 to 15 years old have scores on this test above 78 ? (NOTE: Please enter your answer in decimal form. For example, 45.23% should be entered as 0.4523.)

Answer:

(b) Enter the score which marks the lowest 25 percent of the distribution.

Answer:

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.
