Familiarize yourself with a normal distribution table or online calculator, such as the one at
http://stattrek.com/Tables/Normal.aspx
(A) 1.3%
(B) Subtract P(x<65) from P(x<85)
(C) Find the value of X for which P(x<X) = 0.90 I get 81.5%
(D) Take the difference between getting a score of 70.5% and 69.5%
