Question

Transcribed Image Text:11. In a recent year, the total scores for a certain standardized test were normally distributed, with a mean of 500 and a standard deviation of 10.8. Answer parts
(a)-(d) below.
(a) Find the probability that a randomly selected medical student who took the test had a total score that was less than 486.
The probability that a randomly selected medical student who took the test had a total score that was less than 486 is
(Round to four decimal places as needed.)
(b) Find the probability that a randomly selected medical student who took the test had a total score that was between 495 and 510.
The probability that a randomly selected medical student who took the test had a total score that was between 495 and 510 is
(Round to four decimal places as needed.)
(c) Find the probability that a randomly selected medical student who took the test had a total score that was more than 527.
The probability that a randomly selected medical student who took the test had a total score that was more than 527 is
(Round to four decimal places as needed.)
(d) Identify any unusual events. Explain your reasoning. Choose the correct answer below.
O A. None of the events are unusual because all the probabilities are greater than 0.05.
B. The event in part (a) is unusual because its probability is less than 0.05.
OC. The event in part (c) is unusual because its probability is less than 0.05.
O D. The events in parts (a) and (b) are unusual because their probabilities are less than 0.05.

- n a school district, all sixth grade students take the same standardized test. The superintendant of the school district takes a random sample of 21 scores from all of the students who took the test. She sees that the mean score is 128 with a standard deviation of 41.4416. The superintendant wants to know if the standard deviation has changed this year. Previously, the population standard deviation was 25. Is there evidence that the standard deviation of test scores has increased at the α=0.005 level? Assume the population is normally distributed. Step 1 of 5 : State the null and alternative hypotheses.
