Question

Many students take standardized tests for college applications. They are called standardized tests because they are scored so the population of student scores for any one particular test follows a normal distribution. The most common test are the SAT and the ACT.

Suppose the mean and standard deviation for the ACT composite score, the SAT critical reading score, and the SAT mathematics score for the year 2017 are as follows:

  • For the ACT, the mean composite score was 21.0 with a standard deviation of 5.2.
  • For the SAT critical reading score, the mean was 501 with a standard deviation of 112.
  • For the SAT mathematics score, the mean was 516 with a standard deviation of 116.

Fill in the blanks of the following sentences. 

An ACT composite score of 32 is at the ________th percentile. ________% of the scores are lower than 32. 

An SAT critical reading score of 780  is at the ________th percentile. ________% of the scores are lower than 780. 

An SAT mathematics score of 760 is at the ________th percentile. ________% of the scores are lower than 760.
