MAKE the drawing and you will see the answers.

100 in the middle of the axis
80 is 1 std to the left; 120 is 1 std to the right
68% between them
60 is 2 std to the left ; 140 is 2 std to the right
95% between them
40 is 3 std to the left ; 160 is 3 std to the right
99.7% between them

a. Percentage of scores less than 100::::: 50%
-----------------------------------------------------
b. Relative frequency of scores less than 120:::(50+34)%
-----------------------------------------------------
c. Percentage of scores less than 140:::::(50+47.5)%
-----------------------------------------------------
d. Percentage of scores less than 80:::::::(50-34)%
--------------------------------------------------------
e. Relative frequency of scores less than 60::::(50-47.5)%
--------------------------------------------------------
f. Percentage of scores greater than 120:::(50-34)%
