Use Table (http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/handbook/eda/section3/eda3671.htm) to find the proportion of the normal curve that is
1) Between a z-score of .60 and the mean 0.7257 – 0.5 = 0.2257
2) Between a z-score of 1.60 and the mean 0.9452 – 0.5 = 0.4452
3) At or above a z-score of 1.30 1.000 – 0.9032 = 0.0968
4) At or below a z-score of 1.30 0.9032
5) At or below a z-score of -1.00 0.1587
6) At or above a z-score of -1.00 1.000 – 0.1587 = 0.8413
7) Between the z-scores of -1.00 and .60 0.7257 – 0.1587 = 0.567
