Hi
Homer scored 76 on his math test.
The class average was 61, the median was 66, and the variance was 25.
*Note: average(sum of scores/number of scores) and mean the same.
z = (76-61 / 25 = 15/25 = 3/5 = .6
P(z < .6) = .72575
1) Homers Percentile rank is 72.575%
2) What percent of the people taking this test scored better than homer? 27.425%
