OR… just in case your computer crashes, you could use this equation:
Z = (score-mean)/SD
Find table in the back of your statistics text labeled something like "areas under normal distribution" to find the proportions/probabilities related to the Z scores.
For d, just reverse the process. Find .20, insert its Z score and find the raw score.
