Question 1011546: A math teacher gives two different tests to measure students’ aptitude for math. Scores on the first test are normally distributed with a mean of 24 and a standard deviation of 4.5. Scores on the second test are normally distributed with a mean of 70 and a standard deviation of 11.3. Assume that the two tests use different scales to measure the same aptitude. If a student scores 29 on the first test, what would be his equivalent score on the second test? (That is, find the score that would put him in the same percentile.)
