Question

the average act score submitted to a certain university is 26. to be eligible for admission, a student must score in the top 6% of applicants. if the scores are normally distributed with a standard deviation of 2.4, what is the minimum score needed to be considered for admission?

Answer 1

Z = (x -26)/2.4

1.55 = (x-26)/2.4

1.55(2.4) = x -26

1.55(2.4) + 26 = x
