**Let $$X$$ be the marks which are normally distributed with mean $$\mu$$ and standard deviation $$\sigma$$.** ### (a) Determining $$\mu$$ and $$\sigma$$ We are given that: - $$P(X < 45) = 0.30$$ - $$P(X > 65) = 0.25$$ which implies $$P(X < 65) = 0.75$$ Standardise using the $$z$$-score formula: $$ z = \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} $$ 1. For $$X = 45$$: $$ P\left(Z < \frac{45-\mu}{\sigma}\right) = 0.30 $$ Let $$ \frac{45-\mu}{\sigma} = z_{0.30} $$ From standard normal tables, $$z_{0.30} \approx -0.5244$$. Thus, $$ \frac{45 - \mu}{\sigma} = -0.5244 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 45 - \mu = -0.5244\,\sigma \quad \Rightarrow \quad \mu = 45 + 0.5244\,\sigma \quad \text{(Equation 1)} $$ 2. For $$X = 65$$: $$ P\left(Z < \frac{65-\mu}{\sigma}\right) = 0.75 $$ Let $$ \frac{65-\mu}{\sigma} = z_{0.75} $$ From standard normal tables, $$z_{0.75} \approx 0.6745$$. Hence, $$ \frac{65-\mu}{\sigma} = 0.6745 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 65 - \mu = 0.6745\,\sigma \quad \Rightarrow \quad \mu = 65 - 0.6745\,\sigma \quad \text{(Equation 2)} $$ Now, set the two expressions for $$\mu$$ equal to each other: $$ 45 + 0.5244\,\sigma = 65 - 0.6745\,\sigma $$ Solve for $$\sigma$$: $$ 0.5244\,\sigma + 0.6745\,\sigma = 65 - 45 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 1.1989\,\sigma = 20 $$ $$ \sigma = \frac{20}{1.1989} \approx 16.67 $$ Substitute $$\sigma$$ back into either equation to find $$\mu$$. Using Equation 1: $$ \mu = 45 + 0.5244 \times 16.67 \approx 45 + 8.74 = 53.74 $$ Thus, we have: $$ \mu \approx 53.74 \quad \text{and} \quad \sigma \approx 16.67 $$ ### (b) Calculating the Percentage of Students Obtaining More than 80 Marks We need to find: $$ P(X > 80) $$ Standardise: $$ z = \frac{80 - \mu}{\sigma} = \frac{80 - 53.74}{16.67} \approx \frac{26.26}{16.67} \approx 1.575 $$ Using the standard normal table, find: $$ P(Z < 1.575) \approx 0.9429 $$ Therefore, $$ P(X > 80) = 1 - P(Z < 1.575) \approx 1 - 0.9429 = 0.0571 \quad \text{or} \quad 5.71\% $$ **Summary:** - $$\mu \approx 53.74$$ - $$\sigma \approx 16.67$$ - Approximately $$5.71\%$$ of the students score more than 80 marks. $$ \mu \approx 53.74, \quad \sigma \approx 16.67, \quad \text{and approximately } 5.71\% \text{ of the students scored more than } 80 \text{ marks.} $$
