The distribution of course grades in a very large class is (approximately) Normal with mean 48 and standard deviation 14. The minimum possible grade is 0 and the maximum possible grade is 120. The course instructor is considering the possibility of a "bell curve" that will increase the mean grade to 77 and decrease the standard deviation to 6. Suppose the bell curve is applied and Zeus' grade stays the same. What is Zeus' grade?
