Assume the exam scores in a Stats class are normally distributed with a mean of 83 and a standard deviation of 5. a. Sketch the normal curve with the mean and std dev b. Create a new sketch for each of the following: a. Shade the region representing the probability that an exam grade is less than 78 b. Shade the region representing the probability that an exam score will be greater than 98 c. Shade the region representing the probability that an exam score will be between 80 and 85.

Recent exams are normally distributed, with a mean of 61 and a standard deviation of 11. What score do 25% of the students' exam scores fall below? Suppose the professor decides to grade on a curve. If the professor wants 16% of the students to get an A, what is the minimum score for an A?
