The SAT Reasoning Test is perhaps the most widely used standardized test for college admissions in the United States. Scores are based on a normal distribution with a mean of 1,500 and a standard deviation of 300. Clinton College would like to offer an honors scholarship to students who score in the top 10% of this test. What is the minimum score that qualifies for the scholarship?

Answer:

  1885

Step-by-step explanation:

A score of 1884 is just below the top 10%. To be in the top 10%, the score must be 1885 or higher.

A suitable calculator or spreadsheet is about the easiest way to figure this.
