Sagot :

Answer: 100

5

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The mean of a normal distribution is also the median. Half the population will have values above the mean. Half of 200 is 100, so ...

... 100 students will have grades above 70%.

b) 84% is 14% above the mean. Each 7% is 1 standard deviation, so 14% is 2 standard deviations above the mean. The empirical rule tells you 95% of the population is within 2 standard deviations of the mean, so about 5% of students (10 students) got grades higher than 84% or lower than 56%. The normal distribution is symmetrical, so we expect about 5 students in each range.

... about 5 students will have grades above 84%.
