Suppose a set of test scores is approximately bell-shaped, with a mean of 66 and a range of 60.

(a) The minimum test score is approximately 36 Correct: Your answer is correct., and the maximum test score is approximately 96 Correct: Your answer is correct ...

(b) The standard deviation of the test scores is approximately

The lower limit is 36

Upper limit is 96

Standard deviation is 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the range of the test score which is 60. i. e the difference between the largest and the smallest number is 60. The mean is 66 which is a measure of central tendency. That is it is at the centre of the distribution. Dividing 60 by 2 gives 30.

Adding 30 to the mean will indicate our upper limit i. e 30+66=96

Also, subtracting 30 from 66 will give the lower limit i. e. 66-30=36

The Distance between the range and the mean is the standard deviation

Which in this case is + 30 or - 30
