Question
To help students improve their reading, a school district decides to implement a reading program. It is to be administered to the bottom 10% of the students in the district, based on the scores on a reading achievement exam. If the average score for the students in the district is 118.0, find the cutoff score that will make a student eligible for the program. The standard deviation is 22. Assume the variable is normally distributed. Round z-value calculations to a decimal places and the final answer to the nearest whole number.

The estimated standard deviation is 146.5 cm3. A. The approximation is not accurate because the error of the range rule of thumb's approximation is greater than 15 cm3. B. The approximation is not accurate because the error of the range rule of thumb's approximation is less than 15 cm3. C.
