The grade point averages (GPAs) of a large population of college students are approximately normally distributed with mean 2.4 and standard deviation 0.8.
(a) What fraction of the students will possess a GPA in excess of 2.95? Use the standard normal table and interpolate (report 4 d.p.).
(b) Suppose that three students are randomly selected from the student body. What is the probability that at least two will possess a GPA in excess of 2.95?
(c) Suppose the standard deviation is not known, but it is known that the 75th percentile (0.75 quantile) is 3.0. Find the standard deviation.

A professor obtains SAT scores and freshman grade point averages (GPAs) for a group of n15 college students
A professor obtains SAT scores and freshman grade point averages (GPAs) for a group of n15 college students. The SAT scores have a mean of M = 580 with SS 22,400, and the GPAs have a mean of 3.10 with SS = 1.26, and SP = 84. Find the regression equation for predicting GPA from SAT scores. (Use five decimal places for the slope.)

The grade point averages of the students in a large statistics class follow a normal distribution with a mean of 3.0 and a standard deviation of 0.25. What is the probability that a randomly sampled student from this class has a GPA of less than 2.95? (hint: you will need to use the table on page 175)

The grade point averages (GPA) of 18 randomly selected college students are used to estimate the mean GPA of the college students. The GPAs from the sample are as follows: 2.3 3.3 2.6 1.8 0.2 3.1 4.0 0.7 3.1 2.3 2.0 3.1 3.4 1.3 2.6 2.6 3.7 2.2 (5 points) Is it justified to use of the standard normal distribution to construct the confidence interval? Explain. (10 points) If the population is assumed to be normally distributed, construct a 98% confidence interval for the population mean GPA. Show your work in detail and use 3...
