When grading using "The Curve", the percentages are as follows:
A: Top 10% of scores
B: Scores between P70 and P90
C: Middle 40% (Scores between P30 and P70)
D: Scores between P10 and P30
F: Bottom 10% of scores
Explanation / Answer
Grading using "The Curve". ( We use Excel to solve the prolem)
When grading using "The Curve", the percentages are as follows:
We have used the NORMSINV(p) formula, where p is the cumulative probabiliy
A: Top 10% of scores = NORMSINV(0.9) = 1.28*11.1 + 81.1 = 95.308
B: Scores between P70 and P90 = (1.28*11.1 + 81.1 )-(.524*11.1 + 81.1) = 8.392
C: Middle 40% (Scores between P30 and P70) = (.524*11.1 + 81.1)-(-.524*11.1 + 81.1) = 11.633
D: Scores between P10 and P30 = (-.524*11.1 + 81.1)- (-1.28*11.1 + 81.1) =8.392
F: Bottom 10% of scores = (-1.28*11.1 + 81.1) = 66.892
