The mean score on the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) is 152, while the standard deviation is 12. Assume LSAT score follows a normal distribution. (A z-table will be provided upon request.) a) The average LSAT of a person attending Stanford’s law school is 168. What percentage of the LSAT test takers had a score of 168 or higher? b) A score of 160 is considered competitive. What percentage of test takers is not considered to have a competitive score? @amistre64 I HAVE THE Z TABLE
do you recall your z calcuations?
your zscore defines the number of standard deviations that can go int to the difference between the mean and a given value:\[z=\frac{x-mean}{sd}\]
YES I DO @amistre64
FROM my work = 160-152/12=0.67 which is equivalent to 0.2486 on the z table @amistre64
i assume the first one was no problem then .....
but where do i go from here.
look for onthe ztable for a score of .67
0.2486
sounds like a measure from the mean
