Answer

\(\boxed{97.7\%}\) of students scored over 606

Steps

Step 1 :Convert the score to a z-score using the formula: \(z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}\) where \(x = 606\), \(\mu = 1026\), and \(\sigma = 210\)

Step 2 :Calculate the z-score: \(z = \frac{606 - 1026}{210} = -2.0\)

Step 3 :Find the area to the left of the z-score using the standard normal distribution table (Θ): \(0.02275\)

Step 4 :Subtract the area to the left from 1 to find the area to the right of the z-score: \(1 - 0.02275 = 0.97725\)

Step 5 :Convert the area to the right of the z-score to a percentage: \(0.97725 * 100 = 97.725\%\)

Step 6 :\(\boxed{97.7\%}\) of students scored over 606
