Question 1189639
.
3.	The recent average starting salary for new college graduates in computer information systems is $47,500. 
Assume salaries are normally distributed with a standard deviation of $4,500. 
a.	What is the probability of a new graduate receiving a salary between $45,000 and $50,000?
b.	What is the probability of a new graduate getting a starting salary in excess of $55,000?
c.	What percent of starting salaries is no more than $42,250?
d.	What is the cutoff for the bottom 5% of the salaries?
e.	What is the cutoff for the top 3% of the salaries?
