A professor grades on a curve by assigning C's to all scores from µ – ; to µ + %, B’s to all scores from µ+% to u+ , and D's to all scores from u– * to µ– %. Everyone who scores below a D gets an F, and everyone who scores above a B gets an A. a. If the scores are normally distributed with mean u and variance o², what percentage of students will receive each grade? Hint: convert to z-scores and use pnorm() to find probabilities (percentages) b. If the scores are uniformly distributed (continuous) from 0 to 100 what percentage will receive each grade? Hint: first determine the values of µ and o for this distribution

Question
A professor grades on a curve by assigning C's to all scores from u- ; to u+%, B's to all scores from i+% to µ+ , and D's to all scores from u – * to µ – 5. Everyone who scores below a D gets an F, and everyone who scores above a B gets an A. a. If the scores are normally distributed with mean u and variance o², what percentage of students will receive each grade? Hint: convert to z-scores and use pnorm() to find probabilities (percentages) b. If the scores are uniformly distributed (continuous) from 0 to 100 what percentage will receive each grade? Hint: first determine the values of u and o for this distribution
