Answer:

68.27%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have [tex]\mu=500,\sigma=100[/tex]

Let X shows the SAT score. z-score for X=400 is

[tex]z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{400-500}{100}= -1[/tex]

z-score for X=600 is

[tex]z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{600-500}{100}=1[/tex]

So the proportion of SAT scores falls between 400 and 600 is

[tex]P(400<X<600)=P(-1<z<1)=0.6827[/tex]

hence, required percentage is 68.27%.

one can use the same method to find the% for all other cases as

well.
