given the mean of gre scores is 150 and the standard deviation is 8.8. what proportion of combined gre scores can be expected to be between 155 and 160?



Answer :

Qwdog

The proportion of combined gre scores can be expected to be between 155 and 160 is 0.1574

The mean of gre score = 150

The Standard deviation = 8.8

The proportion of combined gre score expected to be between 155 and 160 can be found using the normal distribution,

                     P(155 < x < 160)

Let us first find their standard score using the formula,

               Z = (X -μ) / σ

where Z is the standard score

           X is the random sample

           μ is the mean

           σ is the standard deviation

 For x = 155,  

                   Z = 155 - 150 / 8.8

                       = 5 / 8.8

                       = 0.57

For x = 160,

                  Z = 160 - 150 / 8.8

                     = 10/8.8

                     = 1.14

P(155 < x <160) = P( 0.54 < z < 1.14)

                       

By using the z-table , we could find the value of P(0.54 < z < 1.14 ) will be 0.1574.

Therefore , the combined gre score between 155 and 160 is 0.1574.
