- A teacher gives a test to a large group of students. The results are closely approximated by a normal curve. The mean is 77, with a standard deviation of 7. The teacher wishes to give A's to the top 4.5% of the students and F's to the bottom 4.5%. A grade of B is given to the next 19.8%, with D's given similarly. All other students get C's. Find the bottom cutoff for a grade of A. The bottom cutoff for an A is (Round to the nearest whole number as needed.)arrow_forwardTwo normal distributions are compared. One has a mean of 10 and a standard deviation of 10. The second normal distribution has a mean of 10 and a standard deviation of 2. Which of the following is true? The dispersions of the distributions are different. The dispersions of the distributions are the same. The distributions are from two different families of distributions. The locations of the distributions are different.arrow_forwardLet a population consist of the values 7 cigarettes, 20 cigarettes, and 21 cigarettes smoked in a day. Show that when samples of size 2 are randomly selected with replacement, the samples have mean absolute deviations that do not center about the value of the mean absolute deviation of the population. What does this indicate about a sample mean absolute deviation being used as an estimator of the mean absolute deviation of a population?arrow_forward
