We do not do your work for you. Once you have attempted to answer your questions, we will be happy to give you feedback on your work. Although it might require more time and effort, you will learn more if you do your own work. Isn't that why you go to school?

However, I will give you a start.

1. Z = 0 = mean

5. Z = (score-mean)/SD

Once you have found the mean, insert its value plus the Z and raw score for one student to solve for SD.

Use that data for 3 by finding table in the back of your statistics text labeled something like "areas under normal distribution" to find the proportion related to the corresponding Z scores.
