Question 978629: A standardized test measuring mathematics proficiency in sixth graders is administered nationally. The results show a normal distribution of scores with µ = 50 and Ơ = 5.8. If one score is randomly sampled from this population what is the probability it will be
a. Higher than 62?
b. Between 40 and 65?
c. Lower than 45?

z=(score-mean)/sd
a) z= 12/5.8 or 2.07. Prob z>2.07=0.019
b.This is the probability of a z score of -1.724 and 2.586, -10/5.8 and 15/5.8
It should be very large. It is 0.9519
c. z must be less than -5/5.8 ;; z<-0.8621;; probability is 0.1943
