4. Professor Kingsfield's class follows very strict grading guidelines. Assume that student averages in Kingsfield's class are n

ormally distributed with a mean fo 62 points and a standard deviation of 12 points. Professor Kingsfield wants letter grades in his class to have a very specific distribution: 68 percent of students get Cs, 13.5 percent get Ds, 13.5 percent get Bs, 2.5 perent receive Fs, and the top 2.5 percent get As. What should be the numeric range for each letter grade

<em>Answer:</em>

<em>For grade A ,a student needs Z score of 2 or above, the required score is</em>

<em> X = 68 + 12Z =92, For grade B, a student needs Z score between 1 and 2 . </em>

<em> The required score is = 68 + (12 * 1) < X = 68 + ( 12 * 2) = 80 < X < 92, For grade C ,a student needs Z score between -1 and 1 . The  required score is = 68 + ( 12 * x - 1) < X = 68 + (12 * x 1) = 56 <X<80. For the  grade D, a student needs Z score between -2 and -1 . </em>

<em> The required score is = 68 + (12 * x -2) < X = 68 + (12 * x -1) = 44< X< 56</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>From the given question, </em>

<em>let the rv X represent student's score.</em>

<em>Z = x - 68/12  ~ N (0,1 )</em>

<em>Now, we know for a standard normal distribution</em>

<em>Thus,</em>

<em>For grade A ,a student needs Z score of 2 or above, the required score is</em>

<em> X = 68 + 12Z =92</em>

<em>For grade B, a student needs Z score between 1 and 2 . </em>

<em> The required score is = 68 + (12 * 1) < X = 68 + ( 12 * 2) = 80 < X < 92</em>

<em>For grade C ,a student needs Z score between -1 and 1 . </em>

<em> The  required score is = 68 + ( 12 * x - 1) < X = 68 + (12 * x 1) = 56 <X<80</em>

<em>For the  grade D, a student needs Z score between -2 and -1 . </em>

<em> The required score is = 68 + (12 * x -2) < X = 68 + (12 * x -1) = 44< X< 56</em>

<em>For student  with score less 44 gets an F.</em>

<em>Note: find an attached image for the graphic sketch of the normal distribution.</em>

if pentagon abcd was reflected over the axis y-axis, reflected over the x-axis, and rotated 180, where would be point A' lie
frez [133]
A reflection over the x axis coupled with another reflection over the y axis leads to a rotation of 180 degrees. 

In other words,

Start with point A. Reflect over the x axis to get point B. Reflect B over the y axis to get point C. To go from A to C, we can rotate A 180 degrees about the origin.

----------------

So this means that if we do those reflections and then do the rotation, then we end up back where we started. Wherever point A is located, the point A' will also be located at the same position with the same coordinates.
