Suppose you can somehow choose two people at random who took the SAT in 2014. A reminder that scores were Normally distributed with mean and stanard deviation of 1497 and 322, respectively. What is the probability that both of them scored above a 1520? Assume that the scores of the two test takers are independent.

22.29% probability that both of them scored above a 1520

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean and standard deviation , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

The first step to solve the question is find the probability that a student has of scoring above 1520, which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 1520.

So

has a pvalue of 0.5279

1 - 0.5279 = 0.4721

Each students has a 0.4721 probability of scoring above 1520.

What is the probability that both of them scored above a 1520?

Each students has a 0.4721 probability of scoring above 1520. So

22.29% probability that both of them scored above a 1520

so far i think you have the right thing going for you just remember soh cah toh

step-by-step explanation:

sine over hypotenuse

cosine   equals adjacent

tangent over hypotenuse

the radius is 2 times the diameter.
