Math Problem Statement
The SAT has the following population parameters (µ = 1000, σ = 200). Plot (draw and upload a picture of) the SAT population distribution. Label the:
mean standard deviations (-3, -2, -1, 0, +1, +2, +3) the raw scores that correspond to each standard deviation. Then:
denote where someone with a score of 900 could be located denote where someone with a score of 1300 would be located.
Solution
Here is the plot of the SAT population distribution, which includes the following elements:
- Mean (µ = 1000), marked by the green vertical line.
- Standard deviations from -3σ to +3σ (at 600, 800, 1000, 1200, 1400), marked by red dashed lines.
- Raw scores corresponding to each standard deviation.
- Score of 900, marked in orange, located between -1σ and 0σ.
- Score of 1300, marked in purple, located between +1σ and +2σ.
Do you need further details or clarifications?
Here are some related questions to consider:
- What percentage of students score between 1000 and 1200 on the SAT?
- How does a score of 900 compare to the overall SAT population?
- What is the probability of scoring below 1300 on the SAT?
- How would the distribution change if the mean SAT score increased?
- What SAT score corresponds to being at the 95th percentile?
Tip: Standard deviation helps in understanding how spread out the scores are from the mean in any normal distribution.
