Answer:

A) 16 scores

B) 98 scores

Explanation:

if we look at a normal distribution table, 50% + 34.13% of all scores will be greater than 18.31 (one standard deviation)

this means that 84.13% or 84 scores will be higher than 18.31, so 100 - 84 = 16 scores will be lower than 18.31

we follow a similar procedure for 2 standard deviations, where 50% + 47.72% of the scores will be lower than 32.38 (the other side of the bell curve)

this means that 97.72% or 98 scores will be lower than 32.38
