After the first exam the professor reports to the class that the mean for the exam was 73, and the standard deviation was 7.
If the bottom 10% of the class fail the exam, what score would earn a student a failing grade?
--------------------
Find the z-value with a 10% left tail:
invNorm(0.10) = -1.2816...
-------------------
Find the score corresponding to that z-score:
------
x = zs+u
x = -1.2816*7 + 73
x = 64.029
Scores below that fail.
