a) A score of 65 is in the 79.67th percentile.

b) A score less than 70 is below the 95.25th percentile.

c) 20.33% of the scores are greater than 65.

d) 95.25% of scores are less than 70.

e) 45.25% of the scores are between 50 and 60.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

The mean is 60 and the standard deviation is 6.

This means that $\mu = 60, \sigma = 6$

a. what is the percentile rank of the score 65?

This is the p-value of Z when X = 65.

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{65 - 60}{6}$

Z = 0.83

Z = 0.83 has a p-value of 0.7967.

Thus: A score of 65 is in the 79.67th percentile.

b. what is the percentile of the score less than 70?

Below the p-value of Z when X = 70. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{70 - 60}{6}$

Z = 1.67

Z = 1.67 has a p-value of 0.9525.

Thus: A score less than 70 is below the 95.25th percentile.

c. what is percent of the scores is greater than 65?

The proportion is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 65.

From item a, when X = 65, Z has a p-value of 0.7967

1 - 0.7967 = 0.2033

0.2033*100% = 20.33%

20.33% of the scores are greater than 65.

d. what percent of scores is less than 70?

The proportion is the p-value of Z when X = 70, which, from item b, is of 0.9525.

0.9525*100% = 95.25%

95.25% of scores are less than 70.

e. what percent of the score is between 50 and 60?

The proportion is the p-value of Z when X = 60 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 50.

X = 60

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{60 - 60}{6}$

Z = 0

Z = 0 has a p-value of 0.5.

X = 50

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{50 - 60}{6}$

Z = -1.67

Z = -1.67 has a p-value of 0.0475.

0.5 - 0.0475 = 0.4525

0.4525*100% = 45.25%

45.25% of the scores are between 50 and 60.
