. If the average for the course was µ = 85 and = 9 and we assume the population of grades are normally distributed, what is the probability of getting an A in the course (90 or higher)?

The scores on an undergraduate Statistics exam are normally distributed with a mean of 75 and a standard deviation of 8. What is the probability that a randomly selected student gets an "A" (score a 90 or above) on this Statistics exam? What score on the Statistics exam is the 75th percentile?

A set of final examination grades in an introductory statistics course is normally distributed, with a mean of 77 and a standard deviation of 9. The probability is 5% that a student taking the test scores higher than what grade?

For large classes, test scores are usually approximately normally distributed. Suppose 500 students have taken a Statistics test. The distribution of scores is approximately normal with a mean of 79.68 and a standard deviation of 17.91 (these are the values from an actual Math 161A midterm exam in pre-Covid times). What proportion of students received an "A" (≥ 90 points) on the test? If a professor curves the class, that means the professor uses the exam score distribution itself to assign grades. Where would the professor have set the A/B cutoff if she wanted to assign A's to the top 15% of the class?
