he score distribution shown in the table is for all students who took a yearly AP statistics exam. An AP statistics teacher had 41 students preparing to take the AP exam. Though they were obviously not a random​ sample, he considered his students to be​ "typical" of all the national students.​ What's the probability that his students will achieve an average score of at least​ 3? Score Percent of students 5 12.1 4 22.6 3 24.3 2 18.1 1 22.9 The probabability that his students will achieve an average score of at least 3 is nothing . ​(Round to four decimal places as​ needed.).

X P(X) X*P(X) X² * P(X)
5 0.121 0.605 3.025
4 0.226 0.904 3.616
3 0.243 0.729 2.1870
2 0.181 0.362 0.7240
1 0.229 0.2290 0.2290

mean = E[X] = Σx*P(X) =            2.82900
          
E [ X² ] = ΣX² * P(X) =            9.7810
          
variance = E[ X² ] - (E[ X ])² =            1.7778
          
std dev = √(variance) =            1.3333
==================

µ =    2.829                                      
σ =    1.333
n=   41                                      
                                          
X =   3                                      
                                          
Z =   (X - µ )/(σ/√n) = (   3   -   2.829   ) / (    1.333 / √   41   ) =   0.821  
                                          
P(X ≥   3   ) = P(Z ≥   0.82   ) =   P ( Z <   -0.821   ) =    0.2058           (answer)

Ten years ago the mean Math SAT score of all high school students who took the test in a small high school was 490, with a standard deviation of 80. This year, a researcher took the scores of a random sample of 16 students in the high school who took the SAT. The mean score of these 16 students is (X bar) = 530. In addition, the researcher assumes that the population standard deviation continues to be σ = 80....

About 130,000 high school students took the AP Statistics exam in 2010. The free-response section of the exam consisted of five open-ended problems and an investigative task. Each free-response question is scored on a 0 to 4 scale (with 4 being the best). For one of the problems, a random sample of 30 student papers yielded the scores that are graphed in the dot plot of part (a) in the previous problem. The mean score for this sample is x̄...
