b) between z = 1 and z = 2

c) to the right of z = -.75

d) to the left of z = -2.58 and to the right of z = +2.58

4. Between what two z-scores lie the central 50% of scores in the standard normal distribution?

5. What proportion of a normal distribution with mean 42 and standard deviation of 8 is:

A: between 26 and 58?

B: greater than 66?

C. less than 34?

D. between 10 and 42?

6. Suppose someone scored an 8 on a statistics homework. The mean for the class was 5.64 and the standard deviation for the class was 1.10. In coming up with final grades for the class, the instructor realized she needed to convert the homework scores so that the mean is 100 and the standard deviation is 10. Your job is to convert the 8 so that it is on this new scale. What is the new score for this student?
