Grades on a biology exam are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 78 and a standard deviation of 8. Originally Dr. Smith decides to curve course grades as follows: Students who score above the 90 percentile will receive an A Students whose scores are in the 80-89.percentiles receive a B Students whose scores are in the 70th-795h percentiles receive a C Students whose scores are in the 60-69 percentiles receive a D Students who score below the 60th percentile...

The scores on a psychology exam were normally distributed with mean of 55 and a standard deviation of 5. A failing grade on the exam was anything 2 or more standard deviations below the mean. What was the cutoff for a failing score? Approximately what percentage of the students failed? The cutoff for a failing score was 45. (Simplify your answer.) Approximately percent of the students failed. (Round to one decimal place as needed.)

Suppose time taken to grade an exam-paper by an examiner has mean 12.8 min. and standard deviation 5 min. If the examiner has to grade 46 exam-papers, what is the approximate probability that she will finish grading in less than 609 min. (assuming grading times are independent and she grades continuously)? Answer to 4 decimal place

knowledge of a midterm grade be used to predict a final exam grade?
A random sample of 200 BCOM students from recent years was taken
and their percentage grades on assignments, midterm exam, and final
exam were recorded. Let’s examine the ability of midterm and
