  2. What is the probability that a student obtains a mark between 65 and 89?
  3. If the lecturer gives Distinction and High Distinction grades to the top 15% of students, what mark does a student need to get a distinction?
  4. If the lecturer gives grades of High Distinction to the top 5% of students, are you better off with a mark of 80 on this exam or a mark of 68 on a different exam where the mean is 62 and the standard deviation is 3? Show your answer statistically and explain.
