The Normal distribution curve to the right displays the distribution of grades given to managers based on management performance at Ford. Of the large population of Ford managers, 10% were given A grades, 80% were given B grades, and 10% were given C grades. A’s were given to those who scored 380 or higher and C’s were given to those who scored 160 or lower. Suppose the company adds grades D and F so there are 5 categories to grade performance. If they want to give A’s only to those in the top 3%, what performance score must a manager exceed to get an A?

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.
