Question:
A college professor teaches Chemistry 101 each fall to a large class of freshmen. For tests, she uses standardized exams that she knows from past experience produce bell-shaped grade distributions with a mean of 70 and a standard deviation of 12. Her philosophy of grading is to impose standards that will yield, in the long run, 20% A's, 26% B's, 38% C's, 12% D's, and 4% F's. Where should the cutoff be between the A's and the B's? Between the B's and the C's?
