Given m=70,N=1000 S.D ($\sigma$)=5
z=$\frac{X-m}{\sigma}$
$\frac{X-70}{5}$------(1)
A) Between 60 And 75
when X=60
eqn(1) becomes
$z =\frac{60-70}{5}=-2$
when X=75 in equation (1)
$z = \frac{75-70}{5}$=1
$P(60 \le x \le 75)=P(-2 \le z \le 1)$
=Area between z=-2 and z=1
=Area from (z=0 to z=3)+Area from (z=0 to z=1)
=0.4772+0.3413
$P(60\le x\le 75)$=0.8185
Number of students getting marks between 60 and 75
=$N \times p$
=$1000 \times 0.8185$
=818
2) More than 75
when X=75,from equation (1)
z=$\frac{75-70}{5}=1$
$P(x\ge 75)$=$P(z\ge 1)$
Area to the right of z=1
=0.5 -(area between z=0 and z=1)
=0.5-0.3413 =0.1587
therefore number of students getting more then 75 marks= $N \times p$
=$1000 \times 0.1587$
=159
