Question 918186: Two high-school students took equivalent language tests, one in German and one in French. Assume that the test scores for the classes are normally distributed.

The student who took the French test, for which the mean was 27 and the standard deviation was 5, scored a 35 Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Re TY: Best comparison would be their individual percentile rankings
z(German student) = 16/8 = 2 , normalcdf(-100,2) = 97.72% percentile ranking
z( French student)= 8/5 = 1.6, relates to 94.52% percentile ranking
