On an engineering statistics course the average grade last semester was 74 and the standard deviation for the grades was 7. If 12% of the class are given A’s; and the grades follow a normal distribution what is the lowest possible A? (assume the value being integer) 1) 80 2) 90 3) 83 4) 86 5) 93

Exam grades: Scores on a statistics final in a large class were normally distributed with a mean of 74 and a standard deviation of 7. Use the Cumulative Normal Distribution Table to answer the following: (a) What proportion of the scores were above 92? (b) What proportion of the scores were below 66? (c) What is the probability that a randomly chosen score is between 72 and 84? Round answers to at least four decimal places.

The average grade in a statistics course has been 72 with a standard deviation of 10. If a random sample of 70 is selected from this population, what is the probability that the average grade is more than 75? Use Appendix B.1 for the z-values. (Round your z-value to 2 decimal places and the final answer to 4 decimal places.) Probability
