Scores on the Math Achievement Test form a normal distribution with a mean of μ = 300 and σ = 100. A school distributes scholarships to students who score in the top 10% for this test. What score or higher must be earned to score in the top 10% on the Math Achievement Test?
IQ test scores are standardized to produce a normal distribution with a mean of μ = 100 and a standard deviation of σ =15. Find the proportion of the population in each of the following IQ categories.
Genius or near genius: IQ over 140
Very superior intelligence: IQ from 120–140
Average or normal intelligence: IQ from 90–109
Waterbury Insurance Company wants to study the relationship between the amount of fire damage and the distance between the burning house and the nearest fire station. This information will be used in setting rates for insurance coverage. For a sample of 30 claims for the last year, the director of the actuarial department determined the distance from the fire station (x) and the amount of fire damage, in thousands of dollars (y). The MegaStat output is reported below.
