If a set of grades on a statistics examination are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 74 and a standard deviation of 7.9, find a) the lowest passing grade of the lowest 10% of the students are given F's. b) the highest B if the top 5% of the students are given A's. c) the lowest B if the top 10% are given A's and the next 25% are given B's.

My Physics professor announced that top 18% will get A in the class. Class mean is 72, and standard deviation is 6. To get the grade A, what score should I get at least?
Suppose Professor Alpha and Professor Omega each teach Introductory Biology. You need to decide which professor to take the class from and have just completed your Introductory Statistics course. Records obtained from past students indicate that students in Professor Alpha's class have a mean score of 80% with a standard deviation of 5%, while past students in Professor Omega's Class have a mean score of 80% with a standard deviation of 10%. Decide which instructor to take for Introductory Biology using a statistical argument.
John finds that there is a scholarship available to all persons scoring in the top 5 % on the ACT test. If the mean score on the ACT is 21 with a standard deviation of 4.7, what score does he need in order to qualify for the scholarship?
A company that supplies LP gas for heating keeps data on the low temperature for each day of each month. It sum-marizes these data by finding the mean, median, standard deviation and interquartile range. The company assumesthat people use the LP gas for heat when the temperature is below 70°, so it creates a second set of data by subtract-ing 70 from each daily low temperature. Which of the four summary statistics will change for this second data set?A) mean and median onlyB) mean and standard deviation onlyC) median and IQR onlyD) standard deviation and IQR onlyE) mean, median, standard deviation, and IQR
Do students ever make up information for an assignment? You be the judge. Students in an applied psychology class were sent out to be observer 100 cars and report how many of the drivers wear wearing seat belts. Each student reported the number of drivers he or she saw wearing seat belts as his or her score. The mean for the class was 65, with the standard deviation of 7. One student, who had a reputation for not doing his assignments, reported seeing 42 belted drivers. Assuming the student actually counted, use the normal curve table to determine the probability that he observed 42 or fewer seat belt users. Based on this probability, do you suspect he made up the numbers rather than actually counting?

4. A college instructor gave identical tests to two randomly sampled groups of 50 students. One group took the test on paper and the other took it online. Those who took the test on paper had an average score of 75.0 with a standard deviation of 12.5. those who took the test online had an average score of 78.0 with a standard deviation of 14.0. can you conclude that the mean scores differ between online and paper tests?
