This is because the normal distribution has a domain that extends to infinity in both directions.

How do you work out the range of values a box will extend in a boxplot using the mean score 100 and standard deviation 20?

It is not possible to determine the range since there is always the possibility that there are outliers. Also, there is no information about the skewness of the data. If the distribution is symmetric, there is a high probability (99.75%) that the values will lie within 3 standard deviations of the mean - that is between 40 and 160.
