Problem Posing
An entrance examination is to be conducted to 120 incoming freshmen college students
at a certain university which is known to be normally distributed and has a mean of 85
and a standard deviation of 10.
a. What proportion of the students would be expected to score above 95?
b. What percent of students would be expected to score below 80?
c. What percentage of students would be expected to score between 80 and
95?
d. How many students are expected to score below 90?
e. How many students are expected to score between 80 and 110?
After posing the problem ask the following questions:
