The Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) is a standardized, multiple-choice examination created to help medical school admissions officers assess a medical school applicants problem solving and critical thinking skills, as well as knowledge of natural, behavioral, and social science concepts and principles prerequisite to the study of medicine. The lowest raw total score on the test is 472 while the highest raw total score is 528. For the current version of the MCAT, the population mean is 501.1 and the population standard deviation is 10.6 points.
1. Alison scored 515 on the MCAT. What is the percentage of test takers who scored less than Alison (what is the percentile rank associated with a raw score of 515)?
2. Kamal scored higher than 82% of the test takers. What is Kamal's percentile—what is Kamal's score on the MCAT?
3. What percentage of test takers scored between 505 and 510 on the MCAT?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1. 90.49% of test takers scored less than Alison.

2.

Kamal scored in the 82th percentile.

Kamal's score was of 510.8.

3. 15.52% of test takers scored between 505 and 510 on the MCAT.

Step-by-step explanation:

Z-score:

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

For the current version of the MCAT, the population mean is 501.1 and the population standard deviation is 10.6 points.

This means that [tex]\mu = 501.1, \sigma = 10.6[/tex]

1. Alison scored 515 on the MCAT. What is the percentage of test takers who scored less than Alison (what is the percentile rank associated with a raw score of 515)?

The proportion is the pvalue of Z when X = 515. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{515 - 501.1}{10.6}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.31[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.31[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.9049

0.9049*100% = 90.49%

90.49% of test takers scored less than Alison.

2. Kamal scored higher than 82% of the test takers. What is Kamal's percentile—what is Kamal's score on the MCAT?

Kamal scored in the 82th percentile.

His score is the value of Z when Z has a pvalue of 0.82. So X when Z = 0.915.

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]0.915 = \frac{X - 501.1}{10.6}[/tex]

[tex]X - 501.1 = 0.915*10.6[/tex]

[tex]X = 510.8[/tex]

Kamal's score was of 510.8.

3. What percentage of test takers scored between 505 and 510 on the MCAT?

The proportion is the pvalue of Z when X = 510 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 505. So

X = 510

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{510 - 501.1}{10.6}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.84[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.84[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.7995

X = 505

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{505 - 501.1}{10.6}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.37[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.37[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.6443

0.7995 - 0.6443 = 0.1552

0.1552*100% = 15.52%

15.52% of test takers scored between 505 and 510 on the MCAT.

To assess the effectiveness of a kindergarten-readiness program, 15 children from a random sample were each given a diagnostic assessment before beginning the program and a follow-up assessment after completing the program. For each child, the difference in the score points between the two assessments was calculated and used to create the 95 percent confidence interval (20.1,23.9)(20.1,23.9).
Assuming all conditions for inference are met, which of the following is a correct interpretation of the interval?
A) For all children in the program, 95 percent of the children will have a mean difference in scores of between 20.1 points and 23.9 points.
B) There is a 0.95 probability that the mean difference in scores for all children in the sample is between 20.1 points and 23.9 points.
C) There is a 0.95 probability that the mean difference in scores for the children in the program is between 20.1 points and 23.9 points.
D) We are 95 percent confident that the mean difference in scores for all children in the program is between 20.1 points and 23.9 points.
E) We are 95 percent confident that the mean difference in scores for the children in the sample is between 20.1 points and 23.9 points.

Answers

Answer:

D) We are 95 percent confident that the mean difference in scores for all children in the program is between 20.1 points and 23.9 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

x% confidence interval:

A confidence interval is built from a sample, has bounds a and b, and has a confidence level of x%. It means that we are x% confident that the population mean is between a and b.

95 percent confidence interval (20.1,23.9)

We are 95% sure that the population mean(that is, the mean for all children in the program) is in this interval. So the correct answer is given by option D.

The test statistic for Semiactive and Active ≈ 3.775 (Significant)

The test statistic for Semiactive and Very Active ≈ 6.464  (Significant)

The test statistic for Normal and Very Active ≈ 7.204  (Significant)

The test statistic for Normal and Active ≈ 3.231  (Significant)

The test statistic for Active and Inactive ≈ 3.91  (Significant)

The test statistic for Active and Very Active ≈ 2.194

The test statistic for Inactive and Very Active ≈ 5.92  (Significant)

Where the test statistic is larger than the critical 't' the statistic is significant
