Write down these numbers. You will need them.
Make distribution graphs for each
section of the SAT.

Label mean and 3 standard deviations to either side.

Your job…

For your engineering school, find the IQR of SAT scores. (College Board
website has this information, as do the school websites.)

Assuming a normal distribution, find the percentage of SAT takers who fall
within the IQR for each section.

Show this on your graphs.
Is the SAT really normally distributed?

Use the percentile list given to make your decision.

Be ready to back up your decision.
