Children below the 30th percentile (in the bottom 30%) are in need of special assistance prior to attending school. What raw score marks the cut-off score for these children?
What is the highest possible raw score?
30.9
To determine the cut-off score for the bottom 30% in a standardized test, you would typically need to have access to the frequency distribution or percentile rank table for that specific test. This information allows you to identify the raw score that corresponds to the desired percentile. Unfortunately, without that specific information, it is not possible to determine the precise raw score cut-off for children below the 30th percentile.
To clarify, a percentile rank represents the percentage of scores that fall below a given score. For example, if a child's score is at the 30th percentile, it means that they scored higher than 30% of the test-taker population and lower than the remaining 70%.
If you have access to the frequency distribution or percentile rank table for the test in question, you can identify the score that corresponds to the 30th percentile to determine the cut-off score for the children in need of special assistance.
