If the exam average is 62 with a standard deviation of 13, what gradeshould be the cutoff for an A? (Round your answer.)Question 9The metropolitan airport commission is considering the establishment of limitations on noisepollution around a local airport. At the present time, the noise level per jet takeoff in oneneighborhood near the airport is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 100decibels and a standard deviation of 3 decibels.

Travelling Experience
Can you remember your best experince in another country? Last summer (in 2007), I traveled to the United States for working and spending some time with my friends. I stayed two months in that country. I decided to travel because I wanted to do something different. I was bored about all my daily activities, so […]
