for each of the following, identify the exam score that should lead to the better grade. in each case, explain your answer.
a. a score of x=56, on a exam with u=50 and 0= 4, or a score of x=60 on an exam with u =50 and o =20.
b. a score of x =40 on a exam with u=45 and 0=2, or a score of x=60 on a exam with u=70 and o=20.
c. a score of x=62, on an exam with u=50 and o=8 or a score of x=23 on an exam with u=20 and o=2.

For each of these, find the z-score using z(x)=(x-u)/sigma.
Then compare the z-scores to determine the highest grade.
