    Step-by-step explanation:

    She will have to earn an entrance exam score at least 2 standard deviations above the mean, mathematically:

    exam score ≥ mean + 2*standard deviation

    dа ta:

    mean = 800

    standard deviation = 40

    Replacing into the above equation:

    exam score ≥ 800 + 2*40

    exam score ≥ 880
