**Bone Density Test Scores and Normal Distribution**

Assume that a randomly selected subject is given a bone density test. These test scores are normally distributed with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1. Based on this distribution, identify the cutoff values that delineate the lowest 13% and highest 13%, representing scores that are considered too low or too high, respectively.

**Instructions:**

1. Sketch the region which represents these cutoff points.
2. Choose the correct graph from the options provided below.

**Graph Options:**

- **Option A:** 
  - The graph shows a normal distribution where the shaded areas on both tails of the distribution curve represent the critical regions below \( -z_{\alpha} \) and above \( z_{\alpha} \).

- **Option B:** 
  - This graph features a normal curve with the central region shaded, indicating values that fall within \(-z_{\alpha}\) and \( z_{\alpha} \). 

- **Option C:**
  - Similar to Option A, this graph displays a normal distribution with shaded tails, marking the cutoff points below \( -z_{\alpha} \) and above \( z_{\alpha} \).

- **Option D:**
  - This illustration also highlights the tails of the distribution, but it may differ in the exact location of shading compared to the other options.

**Complete the Statement Below:**

The bone density scores are _____.

**Note:**
Use a comma to separate the answers as needed, and round each value to two decimal places.
