Question

100%

Scores on an exam were normally distributed. Ten percent of the scores were below 60.0 and 80% were below 81. Find the mean and standard deviation of the scores.

(Round the final answer for the mean to two decimal places.)

(Round the final answer for the standard deviation to four decimal places.)

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
