Question

Suppose that, for a certain mathematics class, the scores are normally distributed with a mean of 75 and a standard deviation of 9. The teacher wishes to give A's to the top 7% of the students and F's to the bottom 7%. The next 17% in either direction will be given B's and D's, with the other students receiving C's. Find the bottom cutoff for receiving an A grade. (You may need to use the standard normal distribution table. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

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.
