Cromley and Azevedo (2007) were interested in the reading-comprehension performance of ninth graders. Students' reading comprehension was assessed with a test in which population mean performance is 33, with a standard deviation of 10. (a) One of the researchers' goals was to identify the bottom 30 percent of students so that they could determine the characteristics of students who struggled with reading. What cutoff score would Cromley and Azevedo use to identify the bottom 30 percent of readers? (b) Let's say we want to identify the best 10 percent of readers to put into an advanced class. What cutoff score on the reading-comprehension test would we use?
