The mean ACT composite score in a recent year is 20.8 with a standard deviation of 5.6. A random sample of 36 ACT composite scores are selected. What is the probability that the mean score for the sample is (a) less than 21.6

0.3051

Explanation:

mean (μ) = 20.8, standard deviation (σ) = 5.6 and the number of samples (n) = 36 scores.

Z score also known as standard score is used in probability to measure the number of standard deviations by which the value of what is being measured is above or below the mean. It is given by the equation:

Z score (z) =

For x = 21.6,

From the probability table:

P(x < 21.6) = P(z < 0.86) = 0.3051 = 30.51%

The probability that the mean score for the sample is less than 21.6 = 30.51%

the answer is:

in a biology class, the teacher started explaining a new lesson about the dna structure. personally, i found this lecture hard to understand. so i decided to use my critical thinking skills to be able to understand it. i analysed the different ideas, and broke them down into smaller parts to assimilate each. then i started evaluation and tried to link what i am learning with real life experiences so that i can make sure that i know how everything i am learning relates. finally, i started questioning by researching more what i learned and asking more questions that can me through my learning process. reflecting on the information meant that i should review it. all this me greatly understand what i previously found hard to understand.

hope it !
