Hi,



You didn't say how You determine the P-value of the z-value found

μ =650   σ = 100

P(  450) - P()

Out of 1000 randomly selected test scores, how many would you expect to be 

P(550 < x < 950) = P() -  P()

Re TY:  In the case of 'multiplying' each data item by 5: 

mean is 5 times greater as well as is the standard deviation 5 times greater .
