Answer: 2718
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Mean score = 85
Standard deviation = 5
Let x be the score of a random student that follows normal distribution.
Then, the probability that a student scored between 90 and 95 will be
The number of students scored between 90 and 95 = 0.1359 x (Total students)
= 0.1359 (20000)
= 2718
Hence, The number of students scored between 90 and 95 = 2718
Part A : 60miles would represent 4.8 inches
Part B : 1/4 inch would represent 3 and 1/8 miles

Answers: x = -17 and x = 64</h3>
====================================================
Explanation
Consider three scenarios:
- A) The value of x is the smallest of the set (aka the min)
- B) The value of x is the largest of the set (aka the max)
- C) The value of x is neither the min, nor the max. So 8 < x < 39.
These scenarios cover all the possible cases of what x could be. It's either the min, the max, or somewhere in between the min and max.
--------------------
We'll start with scenario A.
If x is the min, then that must mean 39 is the max as it's the largest of the set {18, 36, 16, 39, 27, 8, 34}
The range is 56, so,
range = max - min
56 = 39 - x
56+x= 39
x = 39-56
x = -17 which is one possible answer
--------------------
If instead we go with scenario B, then x is the max and 8 is the min
range = max - min
56 = x - 8
56+8 = x
64 = x
x = 64 is the other possible answer
--------------------
Lastly, let's consider scenario C. If x is not the min or the max, then it's somewhere between the min 8 and max 39. in short, 8 < x < 39.
Note that range = max - min = 39-8 = 31 which is not the range of 56 that we want. So there's no way scenario C can be possible here.
It's 5 because the fraction when you divide. 23.
