What is a random sample and why is it important?

If every X, or raw score, is transformed into a z-score the distribution will have:

Based on the frequency polygon displayed below, the most common test grade was around

Imagine that we have a normal distribution of Exam scores for Psychology 210 with a mean of 75 and a standard deviation of 10. If I randomly drew a score of 97, would this be surprising? Explain your answer.
