The class average on a statistics test is 70 marks with a
standard deviation of 11 marks. What minimum mark must a student
obtain to be in the top 8% of the class?
For full marks your answer should be accurate to at least one
decimal place.

From past history, the scores on a statistics test are normally distributed with a mean of 70% and a standard deviation of 5%. To earn an "A" on the test, a student must be in the top 5% of the class. What should a student score to receive an "A"?
if statistics test scores were normally distributed with a mean of 81 and a standard deviation of 4, a) what is the probability that a randomly selected student scored less than 70? b) what percentage of students had a B on the exam? c) the top 10% of the class had what grades?
The average score of students taking a statistics final was 70 with a standard deviation of 5. Assuming a normal distribution, what is the probability that a student scored less than 65?
In a statistics class, the average grade on the final examination was 75 with a standard deviation of 5. a. At least what percentage of the students received grades between 50 and 100? Determine an interval for the grades that will be true for at least 70% of the students. b.
The overall grade of a statistics class has a normal distribution with mean of 85.5 and standard deviation of 5.5. The instructor decides letter grades of students so that 5% fails the class. Find the minimum overall grade a student should get so that the student does not fail the class. (keep 1 decimal place)
A professor of statistics noticed that the marks in his course are normally distributed. He also noticed that his morning classes average 75% with a standard deviation of 13% on their final exams. His afternoon classes average 76% with a standard deviation of 12%. A. What is the probability that a randomly selected student in the morning class has a higher final exam mark than a randomly selected student from an afternoon class? Probability = .4761 B. What is the...
The average grade in a statistics course has been 76 with a standard deviation of 11. If a random sample of 56 is selected from this population, what is the probability that the average grade is more than 80? Use Appendix B.1 for the z-values. (Round your z-value to 2 decimal places and the final answer to 4 decimal places.) Probability
Steve is a student in a statistics course. He is not a good student. A multiple-choice test is coming up and he will just rely on luck to pass the test. There are 10 multiple-choice questions on the test, with 5 possible answers given for each question, one of them being the correct one. Steve is going to guess the answer to each question. What is the probability that Steve gets no answers correct? What is the probability that Steve...
in a certain class, test scores average out to 60, with a standard deviation of 20, as do scores on the final. The correlation between test scores and the final scores is about 0.5. Estimate the average final score for the students whose test score was: 60 A. 60 B. 70 C. 50 D. 80
