First of all, as I know, normal distribution is not tested on GMAT.
Next, even if it were tested, the question still would be flawed as the normal distribution is an absolutely continuous probability distribution and I don't think that we can apply its three-sigma rule (68.2-95.4-99.7 rule), as intended, to solve this question which is not continuous distribution.
Thanks to another GMAT Club member, I have just discovered this valuable topic, yet it had no discussion for over a year. I am now bumping it up - doing my job. I think you may find it valuable (esp those replies with Kudos).
