To calculate probability value using normal distribution.

Robinson & Associates performs employment screening for large companies in southern California.  It usually follows two-step process.  First potential applicants are given a test that covers basic knowledge and intelligence.  If applicants score between a certain ranges, they are called in for an interview.  If they score below a certain point, they are sent a rejection letter.  If applicants score above a certain point, they are sent directly to the client's human resources office without the interview.  Recently, Robinson & Associates began working with a new client and formulated a new test just for this company.  Thirty people were given the test, which is supposed to produce scores that are distributed according to a bell-shaped distribution.  The following data reflect the scores of those 30 people.
