Q. Scores on the SAT form a normal distribution with μ=500 \mu=500 and σ=100 \sigma=100 .\newlinea) What is the minimum score necessary to be in the top 15% 15 \% of the SAT distribution? Invnom
  1. Identify z-score: Identify the zz-score corresponding to the top 15%15\% of a normal distribution. Use the zz-table or calculator to find this value.
  2. Calculate SAT score: Calculate the SAT score using the z-score formula: SAT score=μ+z(σ)\text{SAT score} = \mu + z(\sigma). Here, μ\mu (mean) = 500500 and σ\sigma (standard deviation) = 100100.
