Suppose that scores on a particular test are normally distributed with a mean of 110 and a standard deviation of 20. What is the minimum score needed to be in the top 2% of the scores on the test

The minimum score needed to be in the top 2% of the scores on the test

is  n = 10,00,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

Mean of the Population = 110

Standard deviation of the Population = 20

The estimated error = 2% = 0.02

Step(ii):-

The estimated error is determined by

               ⇒

Squaring on both sides, we get

                   n = 10,00,000

The minimum score needed to be in the top 2% of the scores on the test

is  n = 10,00,000

i'm pretty sure it's 477,585,296, but perhaps my math is incorrect.

tube or goog would be a great resource to with that question
