For example: if you receive an 88% in the course you can receive up to 1 point giving you a new score of 89%. The following rubric will be used. 0.25 point for drawing the normal distribution curve with the mean value labeled on the curve and the appropriate area shaded. 0.25 point for determining the value of the standard deviation of the sample mean. 0.5 point for finding the correct probability.
