MAmean score/standard deviation/distribution table

Nnelde6y ago
HI! Can someone please explain to me how do I calculate questions like this one? The results of an accountancy exam are normally distributed with a mean score of 58 and a standard deviation of 10. What is the percentage probability that a student will score more than 80 (to 2 decimal places)? OR A probability of 2.28% will have been determined from the normal distribution table. The normal distribution value which will give this probability is 0.4772 (0.5 - 0.0228) This value equates to a Z-score of 2 from the normal distribution table. Z-score = (x - µ)/? 2 = (90 - 70)/? ? = 20/2 = 10 I am just looking for some formula someone could explain it to me. I keep having these kind of questions. I have already ask John one of these questions but I havent really understand anything from his answer. Just now I had again similar question in Mock test The number of daily complaints to a local government office has a standard deviation of 7 and the coefficient of variation is 20%. What is the mean number of daily complaints? Is there any videos, resources etc which could explain it to me step by step. Thank you

Of course there are videos explaining. My free lectures explain how to do this in detail and I suggest that you watch them. I suggested this to you when I answered your previous question, but it seems you have not bothered to watch. The lectures are a complete free course for Paper MA and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.
