Question

An honor society on campus only accepts the top 10% of students (according to GPA). If the GPAs of all students on campus are known to be a normally distributed with a mean of 3.25 and a standard deviation of 0.5, determine the minimum GPA a student must achieve in order to be admitted to the honor society. Round the solution to two decimal places, if necessary.

A minimum GPA of Incorrect is required for admission to the honor society.

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
