a. What is the lowest rating you should give to an​ "exemplary" employee if you follow the​ university's HR​ guidelines?

Almost all companies utilize some type of year-end performance review for their employees. Human Resources (HR) at a university's Health Science Center provides
guidelines for supervisors rating their subordinates. For example, raters are advised to examine their ratings for a tendency to be either too lenient or too harsh.
According to HR, "if you have this tendency, consider using a normal distribution-10% of employees (rated) exemplary, 20% distinguished, 40% competent, 20%
marginal, and 10% unacceptable." Suppose you are rating an employee's performance on a scale of 1 (lowest) to 100 (highest). Also, assume the ratings follow a
normal distribution with a mean of 48 and
standard deviation of 14. Complete parts a and b.
