Student provided the following answer: 9.48% of scores fall below a z-score of -.24

Is the students answer correct?  If not, what did they do wrong and what is the correct answer?

Solutions

Expert Solution

The percentage below the Z scores is calculated using Z-score shown below, but the table always gives the proportion not the percentage so, we need to convert it into a percentage by multiplying it with 100,

let's find out the proportion first below Z= -0.24

so, from Z table we can see that the proportion below is 0.4052 so, the percentage of scores fall below Z=-0.24 is 0.4052*100=40.52%
