I would like to find a classy-sounding phrase that means "small white flowers." Could I say "white flowerets"? In looking online, it sounds like "flowerets" is usually used to refer to little tiny flowers that make up a larger flower, such as a head of broccoli. But can "flowerets" also be used to refer to little flowers found in fields? If not, what's a better word? Thanks!

A grading scale is set up for 1000 students' test scores. It is assumed that the scores are normally distributed with a mean score of 75 and a standard deviation of 15.
1. How many students will have scores between 45 and 75?
2. Assuming a 90% is an A, about how many students are expected to pass?
3. Would it be likely that a typical high school teacher to have normally distributed test scores amongst all of his/her classes? Why or why not?

I'm having a bit of a problem with this problem. If you know what you're doing with standard deviation please help me out. Thanks alot!

Maybe no-one can answer this, maybe the answers will be massive speculation delivered with unprecedented authority, or maybe there is a definite solution. The question is out there now people, go to work!
