Problem regarding the normal probability distribution

Reference no: EM13963715

A professor in a large statistics class has a grading policy such that only the 15% of the students with the highest scores will receive the grade A. The mean score for this class is 72 with a standard deviation of 6. Assuming that all the grades for this class follow a normal probability distribution, what is the minimum score that a student in this class has to get to receive an A grade?
