Question
A professor knows that her statistics students' final exam scores have a mean of 79 and a standard deviation of 12.4. In his class, an "A" is any exam score of 90 or higher. This quarter she has 25 students in her class. What is the probability that 7 students or more will score an "A" on the final exam?

You know their grading range is the same 100 90 A, 89 80 B, 79 70 C, 69-60 D and failing is below 60. Both Professor's grades are distributed normally with Professor Smith's mean is 74 and standard deviation is 8.1 while Professor Jones' mean is 80 and standard deviation is 16.9. a.) which professor gives a higher proportion of A's?
