probability $P(X>500)=0.5\  or\  50\%$

let variate be X,

$z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{X-500}{50}$ //converting into normalized form

$X=50z+500$

given, X>500, therefore $50z+500>500$ or $z>0$

probability, $P(z>0)=0.5$

therefore,  $P(X>500)=0.5\  or\  50\%$

PS: you should only know that $P(z\geq0)=P(z<0)=0.5$
