Explanation / Answer

Normal distribution params are:

Mean = 76.5

Stdev = 8.4

For a D grade it should be ? between below top 79% and above the bottom 8%:

Therefore, the area of .79 to .92 is the area with Z values of -.8064 and -1.4051, respectively

The scores are Mean + Z*Stdev = 76.5 +8.4*(-1.4051) to 76.5 +8.4*(-.8064)

= 64.6972 to 69.7262

To get a D grade we have to get a score 64.6972 to 69.7262 or 65 to 69
