For Alma to be accepted into her favorite college, she will have to earn an entrance exam score at least 2 standard deviations above the mean. Assume entrance exam scores are normally distributed, with a mean of 800 and a standard deviation of 40. What exam score does Alma need to be accepted at her favorite college?

720
760
840
880

880 is correct
