Chapter 5.5 Problem 56
Question
Test score distribution. The scores on a biology test are normally distributed with mean 65 and standard deviation 20. A score from 80 to 89 is a B. What is the probability of getting a B?
Solution
The first step in solving 5.5 problem number 56 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Test score distribution. The scores on a biology test are normally distributed with mean 65 and standard deviation 20. A score from 80 to 89 is a B. What is the probability of getting a B?
From the textbook chapter Probability: Expected Value; The Normal Distribution you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
