    [3pts]
    2. Studies show that the average starting salaries for a new graduate is Php 22,510 with a
    standard deviation of Php 2,250. If salaries are normally distributed, what is the probability
    that a new graduate will earn
    a. more than Php 21,000?
    b. Between Php 24,000 and Php 26,000?

    3. The average score on your Math Exams was 75 with a standard deviation of 20. Assuming the
    scores are normally distributed.
    a. If your corresponding z-score was 1.5, what is your corresponding raw score and
    percentile rank?
    b. If the top 5% are given A’s in that examination, what is the lowest raw score to get
    an A?
    c. What percentage of the students got a score above 90?
    [6pts]
    4. A mathematics placement test is given to all incoming freshmen at the College of
    Accountancy. A student who receives a grade below 35 is denied admission to the regular
    mathematics course and placed in a remedial class. The placement test scores and the final
    grades for 20 students who took the regular course were recorded.
