Hi
A. What z score divides the normal curve exactly in half? 0
(x-value = mean at that point)
B. What % of the area lies in each half of the curve? 50%
C. What % does the whole curve add up to? 100%
Here is a normal distribution curve / various standard deviations:

For the normal distribution:
one standard deviation from the mean accounts for about 68.2% of the set
two standard deviations from the mean account for about 95.4%
and three standard deviations from the mean account for about 99.7%.
