A sample of size 126 will be drawn from a population with mean 26 and standard deviation 3. Use the TI-84 calculator. Part 1 Find the probability that x will be more than 25. Round the answer to at least four decimal places. The probability that x will be more than 25 is .
Part 2 Find the 55th percentile of x. Round the answer to two decimal places. The 55th percentile is .

1. The probability that x will be more than 25 is 0.6305.

2. The 55th percentile is 26.38.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean and standard deviation , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean 26 and standard deviation 3.

This means that

1 Find the probability that x will be more than 25.

This is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 25. So

has a p-value of 0.3695.

1 - 0.3695 = 0.6305.

The probability that x will be more than 25 is 0.6305.

2 Find the 55th percentile of x.

This is X when Z has a p-value of 0.55, so X when Z = 0.125.

The 55th percentile is 26.38.

pay attention in your classes and concentrate the best thing you can do to raise your test scores is to pay attention when you're supposed to be learning the material: in class!

take good notes.

do your homework.

use mnemonics and other tricks.

do practice tests.
