Respuesta :

In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.

Step 01:

data:

score:

mean = 76

standard deviation = 12

Step 02:

probability:

normal distribution:

normal distribution diagram:

mean + 1 standard deviation = 76 + 12 = 88

probability (class average score is above 80):

p (score > 80) = 34% + 13.5% + 2.4% + 0.1% = 50% = 0.5

The answer is:

p (score > 80) = 50% = 0.5
