Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
mean is 25.
standard deviation is 5.

the calculator at will help you solve this easily.

here are the results.

between 22 and 29 .....

greater than 29 .....

less than 22 .....

bottom 5% .....

top 5% .....

you set the mean to 25 and the standard deviation to 5.
for between 22 and 29, greater than 29, less than 22, you select area from a value.
for bottom 5% and top 5%, you select value from an area.

you can do the same thing with z-scores, but this calculator allows you to work directly from the mean and the standard deviation.

if you need to now how to work with z-scores, let me know and i'll guide you through that.
