Q4 Entry to a certain University is determined by a national test. The scores on this test are
normally distributed with a mean of 500 and a standard deviation of 100. Alfred wants to be
admitted to this university and he knows that he must score better than at least 70% of the
students who took the test. Alfred takes the test and scores 585. Will he be admitted to this
university?
