Suppose that the test score of a student taking the final of a probability course is a random variable with mean 77.

(a) Give an upper bound for the probability that a student's test score will exceed 87.

(b) Suppose that we know, in addition, that the variance of students' test scores on the final is 26. What can you say about the probability that a student will score between 67 and 87 (do not use the central limit theorem)?

(c) How many students would have to take the final to ensure with a probability of at least 0.85 that the class average would be within 5 of 77 (do not use the central limit theorem)?

(d) If you use the central limit theorem in (c), what is your estimate for the number of students needed?
