1. The health insurance requires a minimum of 65 pts on the exam to pass. The exam standard deviation of 8.4 points and normal distribution has a mean of 72.1 pts.
a. Calculate the percentage of health insurance takers that pass the exam with 65 pts and above.
b. Calculate what pts cut off is the top 8% who passed the exam
mean = 72.1 , sigma = 8.4
Using central limit theorem,
z = (x -mean)/sigma
P(x> 65)
= P(z> (65 - 72.1)/8.4)
= P(z> -0.85)
= 1- P(z< -0.85)
= 1 - 0.1990
= 0.8010
b)
the z value at top 8% = 1.41
z = (x -mean)/sigma
1.41 = (x - 72.1)/8.4
x = 1.41 * 8.4 + 72.1
x = 83.94
