Answer:

78.814%

Step-by-step explanation:

mean,  = 480 points.

standard deviation, σ = 100 points.

If 560 is the minimum score, x = 560. We want the % of students who will score BELOW that. Use the formula for z-scores: [tex]z = \frac{x-u}{standard deviation}[/tex] to get the z score: (560-480)/(100) = 0.8.

Using a z-score table: the value under 0.8 is 78.814%.
