9. Suppose a probability and statistics class took an exam that had a mean of 60 and a standard deviation of 12. If the professor gave everyone a 10 point “curve” what would that do to the mean? What would that do to the standard deviation?

Please don't hesitate to give a "thumbs up" for the answer in case the answer has helped you

Giving a "10 point" curve to every student is like giving everybody a sample of 10. The distribution now becomes a sampling distribution.

The mean of the sampling distribution is equal to the mean of population distribution = 60

The standard deviation of sampling distribution is equal to population standard deviation divided by sqrt(sample size)

= 12/sqrt(10)

= 3.7947

Answer: Mean = 60

Standard deviation = 3.7947

Students believe that Professor A has a lower class mean exam score than Professor B. To test this claim, 40 randomly chosen exams were selected from professor A and 26 exams were randomly selected from Professor B. Professor A had a sample mean of 80 with a sample standard deviation of 10. Professor B had a sample mean of 86 with a standard deviation of 14. Assume the exam scores are normally distributed for both professors. Use the PHANTOMS steps...
