Question

Transcribed Image Text:After the final exam, the professor has curved the grade to approximately Gaussian
distribution with mean 80 and variance 25. Suppose there are N students in this class. How many
students have score at least 70?
(Let (t) be the cumulative distribution function of N(0, 1), standard Gaussian random variable. You
can leave the final result containing D.)
(Note: Don't forget continuous correction!)

Write an expression for the pdf of M . step 2: Suppose that X represents an approximate distribution of the final scores in a certain math course (ignore the fact that this approximation can technically have scores that are greater than 100 or less than 0). If the teacher were to curve the scores, it means he would determine a function to apply to the scores to achieve a desired distribution (assume an affine function in this case, as in the previous part).

If Y, follows the standard normal distribution and Y, follows a chis-square distribution with degrees of freedom n, then nY/Y t distribution. If X1,.., Xn is a random sample from a normal population with population mean 1 and variance 1, then (X -1) + (X - 1 (X, - 1) follows a chi-square distribution with degrees of freedom n. If X,..., Xn is a random sample from a normal distribution with population mean 0 and a known variance o, then must follow a distribution, where X denotes the sample mean and S denotes the sample standard deviation. If T follows at distribution with degrees of freedom n, then T must follow an F distribution with degrees of freedom 1 and n.arrow_forward
