Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

Both distributions are bell-shaped. In a standard distribution, the mean is 0 and the standard deviation is 1. In a
nonstandard distribution, the mean and standard deviation can have other values. (Of course, SD values are positive.)
The process should include sketching the diagram, marking the x score on the diagram, computing the corresponding
z score, shading the appropriate area of interest, finding the area corresponding to the z score in the table (the area
between the mean and the z-score), then using that area to find the shaded area of interest.
