Answer:

50% of the scores were above 75

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed(bell-shaped) samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 75, \sigma = 5

What percent of the scores were above 75?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 75. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{75 - 75}{5}

Z = 0

Z = 0 has a pvalue of 0.5

1 - 0.5 = 0.5

50% of the scores were above 75

It is D. After realizing the inequality to y>1, you can find D. To get y>1, you can see that there is a dotted line so there is no equal to and then you find that all y values are greater than 1 so we figure out it is D!
