Problem

It has been suggested that Example 9.6 is unrealistic, in the sense that the probabilities of errors are too low. Make up your own (reasonable) estimate for the distribution m(x)m(x), and determine the probability that a student's grade point average is accurate to within .05. Also determine the probability that it is accurate to within .5.
