standard_description: Understand the concept of a ratio and use ratio language to describe a ratio relationship between two quantities. For example, “The ratio of wings to beaks in the bird house at the zoo was 2:1, because for every 2 wings there was 1 beak.” “For every vote candidate A received, candidate C received nearly three votes.”
problem_activity: Problem 1
Below is a normal distribution that shows the height of 8-year-old boys in inches. The relative frequency of each height is shown along the
$${y-}$$
axis, and the height, in inches, is shown along the
$${x-}$$
axis.
The mean is 50 and the standard deviation is 2.
[IMG]
Estimate the percent of 8-year-old boys chosen randomly who will be shorter than 53 inches.
Problem 2
The mean combined score for last year’s SAT was 1083 with a standard deviation of 193. The mean and the standard deviation are based on students who took the SAT across the nation.
If you took the SAT and scored a combined score of 1100, what percent of students who took the SAT scored below you?
