In a recent year, the scores for the reading portion of a test were normally distributed, with a mean of 22.1 and a standard deviation of 6.5. Complete parts (a) through (d) below. (a) Find the probability that a randomly selected high school student who took the reading portion of the test has a score that is less than 21. The probability of a student scoring less than 21 is (Round to four decimal places as needed.) (b) Find the probability that a randomly selected high school student who took the reading portion of the test has a score that is between 13.0 and 31.2. The probability of a student scoring between 13.0 and 31.2 is (Round to four decimal places as needed.). (c) Find the probability that a randomly selected high school student who took the reading portion of the test has a score that is more than 35.7. The probability of a student scoring more than 35.7 is (Round to four decimal places as needed.) (d) Identify any unusual events. Explain your reasoning. Choose the correct answer below. OA. The events in parts (a) and (b) are unusual because its probabilities are less than 0.05.
