    63 percent student scored below Jake.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    For finding the percentile

    Step 1: Subtracting mean from Jake's score

    =520-500

    =20

    Step 2: Calculating z-score

    The z-Score is found by dividing the difference obtained in step 1 by SD of the data

    z-score = 20/60

    z-score=0.333

    Step 3: Converting the z-score to percentile

    The z-score will be converted to percentile using the z-score to percentile conversion table, the value of percentile for 0.3333 is 63rd.

    So, 63 percent students scored below Jake.
