Average score, μ = 75
Standard deviation of scores, σ = 20
Let X be the random variable that records scores obtained in exams.
The scores are normally distributed. Therefore, the distribution of X is: X N ( 75 , 20 2 ).
The z-score = 1.5
The percentile rank corresponding to the z-score of 1.5 can be computed as:
p r = 100 × P ( z < 1.5 ) = 100 × 93319 = 93.319 93.32
Thus, the percentile rank corresponding to z = 1.5 is 93.32.
The computed rank depicts that that around 93.32% of the data have z-score less than 1.5 or have marks less than 105.
