A study was conducted on students from a particular high school
over the last 8 years. The following information was found
regarding standardized tests used for college admitance. Scores on
the SAT test are normally distributed with a mean of 1010 and a
standard deviation of 200. Scores on the ACT test are normally
distributed with a mean of 20.9 and a standard deviation of 4.4. It
is assumed that the two tests measure the same aptitude, but use
different scales.
If a student gets an SAT score that is the 34-percentile, find the
actual SAT score.
SAT score =
Round answer to a whole number.
What would be the equivalent ACT score for this student?
ACT score =
Round answer to 1 decimal place.
If a student gets an SAT score of 1490, find the equivalent ACT
score.
ACT score =
