Problem 3: (30pts)

In a recent year, grade 8 Washington State public schools students taking a mathematics assessment test had a mean score of 281 with a standard deviation of 34.4.

Possible test scores could range from 0 to 500. Assume that the scores are normally distributed.

  1. What is the lowest score that still place a student in the top 15% of the scores?
  2. Fin the probability that a student had a score higher than 350.
  3. Find the probability that a student had a score between 250 and 315.
  4. If 1500 students are randomly selected, how many would be expected to have a score between 250 and 315?
  5. A random sample of 16 students is drawn from this population, what is the probability that the mean score is greater than 300?
