On a standardized test of mathematical ability, Kim scored a 40, and John scored a 20.60.
The distribution of test scores for the population is normal,
with a mean of 33 and a standard deviation of 6.3
------------
Kim: z(40) = (40-33)/6.3 = 1.11
---------------------------
John: z(20.6) = (20.6-33)/6.3 = -1.9683
--------
The percentage of the population which scored below John ?
? = P(z < -1.9683) = 0.0245
--------------------------------
The percentage of the population which scored above Kim is ?
? = P(z > 1.11) = 0.1335
--------------------------------
The percentage of the population between joh and kim is ?
? = 1-(0.0245+0.1335) = 0.8420
