x 500

μ 527

σ 112

Solution:

Formula z=(x-μ)/σ

z = (500-527)/112

= -0.241071429

P(z ≤ 0.24) = 0.40 left tail of z

0.60 right tail of z

P(x ≥ 500) = 1-NORM.DIST(500,527,112,TRUE)

= 0.595250122

= 60%

there is 60% chance that all incoming 3rd year student will have a score of 500 on their qualifying exam.
