The
mean
of a
set
of test scores is 55.
The
standard
devi
ation is 15.3. Assuming that the standard normal curve adequately
models
the
distribution,
what
is the probability
that
a randomly se
lected student scored 90? What is the score that only 10 percent of the
students would be expected to
have
surpassed?
What
would be
the
score that only 20 percent of the students would have failed to
achieve?
