Example 2:
The mean of a set of test scores is 55. The standard deviation is 15.3. Assuming
that the standard normal curve adequately models the distribution, what is the
probability that a randomly selected 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 ?
