b. the top 68%
c. the bottom 20%
d. the bottom 65%
2. Find the z-score if the area under a standard normal curve:

c. to the left of z is 0.215
3. Find the percent of z-scores in a normal distribution (non-standard) with = 75
and = 10 that are between:
a. 70 and 80
b. greater than 71
c. less than 69
4. Determine the values for z and x.
5. A college aptitude test is scaled so that its scores approximate a normal
distribution with a mean of 500 and standard deviation of 100.
