The distribution of grade point averages (GPAs) for medical school applicants of a certain year were approximately Normal, with a mean of 3.47 and a standard deviation of 0.36. Suppose a medical school will only consider candidates with GPAs in the top 20% of the applicant pool. An applicant has a GPA of 3.62. Does this GPA fall in the top 20% of the applicant pool? Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer box to complete your choice. (Type an integer or decimal rounded to two decimal places as needed.) A. No. The cutoff for the top 20% is a GPA of nothing. B. Yes. The cutoff for the top 20% is a GPA of
