Textbook Question

Chapter 6, Problem 50SE

Medical School GPA The distribution of grade point averages GPAs for medical school applicants in 2017 were approximately Normal, with a mean of 3.56 and a standard deviation of 0.34. Suppose a medical school will only consider candidates with GPAs in the top 15% of the applicant pool. An applicant has a GPA of 3.71. Does this GPA fall in the top 15% of the applicant pool?

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.

Theorem 3.5 Suppose that P and Q are probability measures defined on the same probability space (2, F), and that F is generated by a л-system A. If P(A) = Q(A) for all A = A, then P = Q, i.e., P(A) = Q(A) for all A = F.
