Essay

An observed frequency distribution of exam scores is as follows:  Exam Score  Under 6060697079808990100 Frequency 30301406040\begin{array}{l|ccccc}\text { Exam Score } & \text { Under } 60 & 60-69 & 70-79 & 80-89 & 90-100 \\\hline \text { Frequency } & 30 & 30 & 140 & 60 & 40\end{array}
i) Assuming a normal distribution with μ=75\mu = 75 and σ=15\sigma = 15 , find the probability of a randomly selected subject belonging to each class. (Use boundaries of 59.5,69.5,79.5,89.5,10059.5,69.5,79.5,89.5,100 .)
ii) Using the probabilities found in part (i), find the expected frequency for each category.
iii) Use a 0.050.05 significance level to test the claim that the exam scores were randomly selected from a normally distributed population with μ=75\mu = 75 and σ=15\sigma = 15 .
