Chapters: Normal and Exponential random variables Q: Suppose that scores on an exam are normally distributed with mean 80 and standard deviation 5. a. What is the probability that a student scores higher than 85 percent on the exam? b. Assume that exam scores are independent and that 10 students take the exam. What is the probability that 4 or more students score 85 percent or higher on the exam.
