anyone really good at statistics? I really need help on last questions!

OpenStudy (kirbykirby):

What's the question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats the question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3) For the following, assume that all variables are normally distributed and are distributed identically to the population from which they were drawn . a) What is the probability that a person in the population has a “Cooperation with Police ”score higher than 3.23? b) What is the probability that a person in the population has a“Self Control ”score less than 3.08? c) What is the probability that a person in the population has a School Commitment score higher than 1.87? d) What is the probability that a person in the population has a Trust in Police score less than 3.17 ?

I need SD , Z score , and probability

OpenStudy (kirbykirby):

Are you able to find the mean and standard deviation for the "Cooperation with police" ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have 3.23-3.625/0.5391

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but no sure if thats right

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

3.625 is the mean of "Cooperation with police " ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes I believe

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

how did u get 0.5391 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how would the formula look for A

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you have sample statistics, and you want to estimate population parameter so Central Limit Theorem kicks in

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

heard of CLT before ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no , I have not...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

all I know is that to find the probability I need to use the Z score chart?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

oh ok, then this is a simple problem just find the zscore from above

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

actually you're doing it correctly, keep going :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you sure?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

once u have zscore, find the probability from zscore table : http://www.math.upenn.edu/~chhays/zscoretable.pdf

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is my mean incorrect?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thank you !

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

good lukc !
