a. 75%
b. 25%
c. 5%
d. 33.3%
e. 66.7%
statistics question, and explain!

b

Step-by-step explanation:

With so many question of statistics I had to go looking for a Z table.

Ok so in order to know an accurate percentage in a normal distribution you calculate Z:

Z = (65 - 70)/7.5 = - 0.667

Then you enter Z in a Z-Table (there are many Z-table so be careful how you use it)

And the probability for a Z of - 0.667 is ~25%

for future students the answer is b
