test and scores 585. Will he be admitted to this university? Solution: Let x be the random variable that represents the scores. x is normally distributed with a mean of 500 and a standard deviation of 100. The total area under the normal curve represents the total number of students who took the test. If we multiply the values of the areas under the curve by 100‚ we obtain percentages. For x = 585‚ z = (585 - 500) / 100 = 0.85 The proportion P of students who scored below 585 is given by
