Scores on a test are normally distributed with a mean of 541 and a standard deviation of 120. Use the 68-95-99.7 Rule to find the percentage of people taking the test who score below 181.
----
Find the number of standard deviations 181 is to the left of the mean:
(541-181)/120 = 3
-------
Draw a normal curve.
According to the "Rule" only 0.3% of the people are
outside the 99.7% limits.
---
Only 0.3%2 = 0.15% or 0.0015 of the people are below 181.
