9. On a standardized test where the results are distributed normally, Elliete scored a 246. If the mean score was
a 182 with a standard deviation of 36, then what is Elliete's percentile rank (percent less than or equal to 246)
rounded to the nearest whole percent? Explain how you arrived at your answer.

Elliete's percentile rank is 96% for a score less than or equal to 246

The z score is used to determine by how many standard deviations the raw score is above or below the mean. The z score is given by:

[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} \\\\where\ x=raw\ score,\mu=mean,\sigma=standard\ deviation[/tex]

Given that μ = 182, σ = 36

For x ≤ 246:

[tex]z=\frac{246-182}{36}=1.78[/tex]

From the normal distribution table:

P(x ≤ 246) = P(z < 1.78) = 0.9625 = 96%

Elliete's percentile rank is 96% for a score less than or equal to 246
