SAT scores were originally scaled so that the scores for each section were approximately normally distributed with a mean of 500 and a standard deviation of 100. Find the z-score for a student who scores 700. (AP generally expects to see work shown for z-score calculations.

SAT scores were originally scaled so that the scores for each section were approximately normally distributed with a mean of 500 and a standard deviation of 100. Assuming that this scaling still applies, use a calculator to find the probability that a randomly selected SAT student scores more than 700. Type your answers with proper notation in the answer box. Round to four decimal places.

SAT scores were originally scaled so that the scores for each section were approximately normally distributed with a mean of 500 and a standard deviation of 100. Find the z-score of the SAT scores 440 and 560. Type your work in the Show Your Work Box (AP would require that you show the z-score calculations), then type your answers as z-score- comma- space- other z-score.

SAT scores were originally scaled so that the scores for each section were approximately normally distributed with a mean of 500 and a standard deviation of 100. Assuming that this scaling still applies, use a calculator to find the probability that a randomly selected SAT student scores between 440 and 560. Type your work in the Show Your Work Box (AP would require that you show the z-score calculations), then type your answers with proper notation in the answer box. Round to four decimal places.
