A sociology instructor calculates that the average (mean) score on the Soc 1 final exam for all 150 of her students was 72 with a standard deviation of 9. She constructs a histogram and concludes that the distribution of scores in this population was mound-shaped and symmetrical.
a. Use the Empirical Rule to find the lower and upper ends of an interval that contains about 68% of the scores.
b. What is the z-score of a student whose raw score was 54?

For a certain law school, the entering students have an average LSAT score of about 700 with a standard deviation of about 40. The smoothed density histogram of the LSAT scores appears to follow a normal distribution. Sketch a smoothed density histogram (a bell-shaped curve) of the distributions for the LSAT scores. (For this problem, draw this on your own paper. You will not need to submit this graph.) Because this distribution is approximately normal, the mean is equal to...

Problem 1: Confidence Interval for Percentage of B’s. The data set “STAT 250 Final Exam Scores” contains a random sample of 269 STAT 250 students’ final exam scores (maximum of 80) collected over the past two years. Answer the following questions using this data set. a) What proportion of students in our sample earned B’s on the final exam? A letter grade of B is obtained with a score of between 64 and 71 inclusive. Hint: You can do this...

Problem 4: Variables that may affect Grades The data set contains a random sample of STAT 250 Final Exam Scores out of 80 points. For each individual sampled, the time (in hours per week) that the student spent participating in a GMU club or sport and working for pay outside of GMU was recorded. Values of 0 indicate the students either does not participate in a club or sport or does not work a job for pay. The goal of...

Student stress at final exam time comes partly from the
uncertainty of grades and the consequences of those grades. Can
knowledge of a midterm grade be used to predict a final exam grade?
A random sample of 200 BCOM students from recent years was taken
and their percentage grades on assignments, midterm exam, and final
exam were recorded. Let’s examine the ability of midterm and
assignment grades to predict final exam grades.
The data are shown here:
