Question 930659: 1. Two high school students took equivalent language tests, one in German and one in French. The student taking the German test, for which the mean was 66 and the standard deviation was 8, scored an 52, while the student taking the French test, for which the mean was 27 and the standard deviation was 5, scored a 20. Compare the scores.
choices
a )None of the above

b )The two scores are statistically the same.

c )A score of 52 with a mean of 66 and a standard deviation of 8 is better.

d) A score of 20 with a mean of 27 and a standard deviation of 5 is better.

e) You cannot determine which score is better from the given information.

66 and the standard deviation was 8, scored an 52, z+=+blue%28x+-+mu%29%2Fblue%28sigma%29
z = -14/8, P( z < -1.75) = normalcdf(-100,-1.75) = .04
.........
mean was 27 and the standard deviation was 5, scored a 20, z+=+blue%28x+-+mu%29%2Fblue%28sigma%29
z = -7/5, P(z < -1.4) = norma;cdf(-100, -1.4) = .08
