Expert Solution
Step 1

Note:

As per the guidelines, we are only allowed to solve three subparts, please post the other questions as a different question.

 

According to the empirical rule, for normal distribution, 95% of the values lie two standard deviations from the mean. This means that of the 5% observations lie outside two standard deviations from the mean, that is of 2.5% the observations will be less than two standard deviations of the mean and 2.5% of the observations will be above than two standard deviations of the mean.

 

The percentage of students who scored higher than 104 lies two standard deviations from the mean. This means that the required percentage is approximately 2.5%.
