Question

Only iv and v

In a reading test for eight-year-old children, it is found that a reading score X
is normally distributed with mean 5.0 and standard deviation 2.0.
p What proportion of children would you expect to score between 4.5
and 6.0?
(1) There are about 700 000 eight-year-olds in the country. How many
would you expect to have a reading score of more than twice the mean?
(r Why might educationalists refer to the reading score X as a 'score out of 10’?
The reading score is often reported, after scaling, as a value Y which is
normally distributed, with mean 100 and standard deviation 15. Values of Y
are usually given to the nearest integer.
(iv) Find the probability that a randomly chosen eight-year-old gets a score,
after scaling, of 103.
(v) What range of Y scores would you expect to be attained by the best 20%
´of readers?
