In a particular year, the mean score on the ACT test was 22.5 and the standard deviation was 5.3. The mean score on the SAT mathematics test was 526 and the standard deviation was 101. The distributions of both scores were approximately bell-shaped. Round the answers to at least two decimal places.

Answer:

- 0.0943

- 0.386

30.185

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

ACT:

Mean score, m = 22.5

Standard deviation, σ = 5.3

SAT :

Mean score, m = 526

Standard deviation, σ = 101

1.)

Zscore for ACT score of 22:

Since the distribution is normal ; we use the relation ;

Zscore = (score - mean) / standard deviation

Score = 22

Zscore = (22 - 22.5) / 5.3 = - 0.0943

B.)

Zscore for SAT of 487

Zscore = (score - mean) / standard deviation

Score = 487

Zscore = (487 - 526) / 101 = - 0.386

C.)

ACT score, for ACT Zscore of 1.45

Zscore = (score - mean) / standard deviation

ZScore = 1.45

1.45 = (score - 22.5) / 5.3

1.45 * 5.3 = (score - 22.5)

7.685 = score - 22.5

Score = 7.685 + 22.5

Score = 30.185
