Q:
The mean score for a standardized test is 1700 points. The results are normally distributed with a standard deviation of 75 points. If 10,000 students take the exam, how many would you expect to score above 1850 points?

Using Excel, the expected number of students to score above 1850 points is equal to =10000*(1-NORMDIST(1850,1700,75,TRUE))
