Suppose the scores on your last Algebra 2 test were normally distributed, with a mean of 81% and a standard deviation of 3%. To show you how you compared to your classmates, the teacher did not record your grades as per- centages, instead, she wrote them as z-scores. You look at your paper and see "2.66" written at the top. What was your score as a percentage? Explain how you determined your answer.
