Scores on a certain standardized test have a mean of 500, and a standard deviation of 100. How common is a score between 600 and 700? Calculate the probability.
A
2.5%
B
2.35%
C
16%
D
13.5%
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Therefore, the T scorescale from 20 (-3 SD) to 80 (+3 SD) has a mean of 50 and a SD (standarddeviation) of 10. The T score has two major advantages: it is always a wholenumber, and it is never a negative number.

Detailed explanation-2: -Standard Score – Standard scores have an average (mean) of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. Scaled Score – Scaled scores have an average (mean) of 10 and a standard deviation of 3. T-Score – T-scores have an average (mean) of 50 and a standard deviation of 10.

Detailed explanation-3: -Standard Deviation • Describes how far most scores fall from the mean. Example: If the mean is 100 and the standard deviation is 15, that means that most respondents scored within 15 points of the mean (above or below). 100-15 = 85 100+15 = 115 Thus, the average range is 85-115.
