Suppose that the final exam scores of all students in a large math class are normally 
distributed
with a mean of 130 points and a s.d. of 22 points. 
(a) Find the probability that a r/s student’s score is above 160 points.
(b) Find the 90th percentile of these students’ scores.

Expert Solution
Step 1

The question is about normal distribution

Mean scores of final exam ( μ ) = 130 points

Std. deviation of scores of final exam ( σ ) = 22 points

 

To find :

a ) Prob. that a randomly selected student's score is above 160 points

b ) 90th percentile of these student scores
