Your statistics professor hands back your exams and informs the class that the average score was a B. One student asks if the instructor planned to "grade the exam on a normal curve." The professor cringes and points out that:
◦ grades are never normally distributed.
◦ using a normal distribution for grading would lead to significantly more students
receiving A's even though they didn't actually score in the A range, which she is opposed to doing.
◦ if the professor were to truly grade the exam on a normal curve, the class grades would go down because the average score would be transformed to a C and an equal number of students would be assigned an F as would be assigned an A.
◦ a normal distribution implies that more students would receive an F than an A.
