- What percentage of the people taking the test score between 400 and 500?

- Suppose someone receives a score of 630. What percentage of the people taking the test score better ? What percentage score worse ?

- If a particular university will not admit anyone scoring below 480, what percentage of the persons taking the test would be acceptable to the university ?

Explanation / Answer
