z1 = = 1.37

z2 = = -2.74

Look up 1.37 on a z-table. You get 0.9137. This is the probability the mean score is less than 575.

Look up -2.74 on a z-table. You get 0.0031. This is the probability the mean score is less than 500.

To find the probability that the mean score is between 500 and 575, simply subtract 0.0031 from 0.9137. You get an answer of 0.9106.

This means there is a 0.9106 probability that the mean score is between 500 and 575.
