Suppose you earned 100 points on an exam. Under which of the following conditions did you earn the best grade?
When:
a. μ = 80 and σ = 10
b. μ = 80 and σ = 5
c. μ = 105 and σ = 10
d. μ = 105 and σ = 5
----
Procedure:
find the z-value of 100 for each of the 4 conditions
using z = (x-u)/sigma
---
Whichever z value is greatest tells you the condition for the best grade.
