One hundred students took a statistics exam where the mean score was 78. The distribution was normal. The standard deviation was 4. If Chris earned an 80 on the exam, at approximately what percentile did his grade fall? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

SD=4
x=80

Look in the back of your statistics textbook for a table called something like “area under normal distribution” to find the proportion/probability in larger portion of Z = .5. Multiply by 100.
