- A professor knows that her statistics students' final exam scores have a mean of 80 and a standard deviation of 12.2. In her 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?Hint: You will need to use your knowledge of normal probability distributions to determine the probability of one individual getting an A and then use your knowledge of binomial distributions to determine the probability of 7 students or more out of 25 students getting an A.prob = ____________Report your final answer accurate to 4 decimal places.
