I left it blank. I can't believe I knew how to answer that question a week ago, but didn't expect the normal distribution curve to come up and ended up forgetting how to do it.

fml. I've definitely got at most 46 raw score. Can't have make any more stupid mistakes otherwise there goes my 800...

Using normalcdf(-1E99,84,74,2) i got the answer to be 99 percentile. I didn't know how to do it then, and I'm not totally sure that's correct, but I got it wrong. I'm pretty sure I got like only 2 wrong though, but there's always little mistakes. I'm hoping for the 800.

Ok Im pretty sure it's above 99

If u see here

File:The Normal Distribution.svg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

99 percent of scores are within 3 standard deviations - I believe on the test 84 was 5 standard deviations away

Should have been choices I and III, so that might be right.

the second to last question was about the triangle.
I am pretty sure the answer was infinite.
