Question

Suppose an exam had an average (mean) score of 70% and a standard deviation of 15%.

If the teacher curved grades using the bell curve as in the table above, what score would be necessary to receive an "A"? Round your answer a percentage to one decimal place.

To receive an "A" a score of ? would be needed.

How about a "B"? Round your answers as percentages to one decimal place. (Enter your answers from smallest to largest.)

To receive a "B" a score between  % and  % would be needed.


How about a "C"? Round your answers as percentages to one decimal place. (Enter your answers from smallest to largest.)

To receive a "C" a score between  % and  % would be needed.

A 1.5 standard deviations above the mean or higher B 0.5 to 1.5 standard deviations above the mean C within 0.5 standard deviation of the mean D 0.5 to 1.5 standard deviations below the mean F 1.5 standard deviations below the mean or lower
