Chapter 5, Problem 5.15P

A large university administers entrance exams to all entering students. The test is administered again as an exit exam for all graduates. The test results for one group of students are given in the table.

Freshman Year Senior Year
X ¯ = 53 X ¯ = 92
s = 7 s = 4

a. The scores for five students on both tests are listed below. For each student, calculate Z scores and determine whether the student performed better as a freshman or as a senior.

Student Score, Freshman Year Score, Senior Year
A 57 97
B 51 94
C 45 82
D 73 101
E 62 98

b. Determine the probabilities that randomly selected students will have scores in each of these ranges:

Freshman Year
Score Probability
Less than 52
Less than 57
Between 40 and 50
More than 51
More than 62
Senior Year
Score Probability
Less than 88
Less than 98
Between 80 and 100
