A philosophy professor assigns letter grades on a test according to the following scheme. A: Top 13% of scores B: Scores below the top 13% and above the bottom 55% C: Scores below the top 45% and above the bottom 23% D: Scores below the top 77% and above the bottom 9% F: Bottom 9% of scores Scores on the test are normally distributed with a mean of 76 and a standard deviation of 7.9. Find the minimum score required for an A grade. Round your answer to the nearest whole number, if necessary.

The minimum score required for an A grade is 85.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean and standard deviation , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

Find the minimum score required for an A grade.

The top 13% of the scores are A, so the minimum is the 100-13 = 87th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.87. So X when Z = 1.127.

Rounding to the nearest whole number:

The minimum score required for an A grade is 85.

step-by-step explanation:

according to this law, when unemployment goes up by 1%, gdp drops by 2%. in the question, unemployment rate goes from 2% to 5%, meaning unemployment goes up by 3%, so the gdp drops by 6%. thus the effect is a drop in gdp by 6%.
