SAT mean = 1023, Standard deviation = 194

ACT mean = 20.8, Standard deviation = 4.8

(a) The admissions office is interested in finding the proportion of scores that fall between the SAT range of 940 to 1270, because they think this will be a good range of students to project for admission (higher scores might not accept, and lower scores might struggle academically). What is the proportion of students that score in this range? Draw it on the normal.

(b) The admissions office is interested in selecting students who score in the top 10% of SAT scores for a scholarship. You score a 1240. Is this high enough to get the scholarship? Draw your score on the normal curve.

(c) The admissions office is interested in selecting students who score in the top 10% of SAT scores for a scholarship. What is the corresponding SAT score for this cutoff? Draw this score on the normal curve.
