Isabella's points per game of bowling are normally distributed with a standard deviation of 8 points. If Isabella scores 148 points, and the z-score of this value is 3, then what is her mean points in a game? Do not include the units in your answer. For example, if you found that the mean is 150 points, you would enter 150. Provide your answer below:
A standardized exam's scores are normally distributed. In a recent year, the mean test score was 21.1 and the standard deviation was 5.7. The test scores of four students selected at random are 14, 22, 7, and 35. Find the z-scores that correspond to each value and determine whether any of the values are unusual. The z-score for 14 is (Round to two decimal places as needed.) The z-score for 22 is (Round to two decimal places as needed.) The z-score for 7 is (Round to two decimal places as needed.)

In a large section of a statistics class, the points for the final exam are normally distributed, with a mean of 74 and a standard deviation of 8. Grades are assigned such that the top 10% receive A's, the next 20% received B's, the middle 40% receive C's, the next 20% receive D's, and the bottom 10% receive F's. Find the lowest score on the final exam that would qualify a student for an A, a B, a C, and a D. The lowest score that would qualify a student for an A is nothing. (Round up to the nearest integer as needed.) The lowest score that would qualify a student for a B is nothing. (Round up to the nearest integer as needed.) The lowest score that would qualify a student for a C is nothing. (Round up to the nearest integer as needed.) The lowest score that would qualify a student for a D is nothing.
