The percentile is just the cumulative proportion stated as a percent: the percent of all scores that were lower than this one. In 2007, composite ACT scores were close to Normal with mean 21.2 and standard deviation 5.0. Jacob scored 16. What was his percentile?
2) It is possible to score higher than 1600 on the SAT, but scores 1600 and above are reported as 1600. In 2007 the distribution of SAT scores (combining mathematics and reading) was close to Normal with mean 1021 and standard deviation 211. What proportion of 2007 SAT scores were reported as 1600?
