Sampling and CI Practice

The document discusses exam scores that follow a normal distribution with a mean of 75 and standard deviation of 6.8. It then provides calculations to find: a) the probability a randomly selected student scores less than 65, b) the probability the mean score of 50 randomly selected students is greater than 75, and c) the 80th percentile for the mean score of 50 students.
