Solve the following:

Q: A nationwide test taken by high school sophomores and juniors has three sections, each scored on a scale of 20 to 80. In a recent year, the national mean score for the writing section was 49.6, with a standard deviation of 10.9. Based on this information, complete the following statements about the distribution of the scores on the writing section for the recent year.
