Question 1179901
.
You went bowling in two leagues. In the first league the mean bowling score is 167 with a standard deviation of 44. 
In the second league the mean score is 180 with a standard deviation of 35. 
If you bowl a game of 201 in both leagues in which league is this score the best 
in comparison to the other bowlers? Explain why...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<pre>
In the first league, you standardized score is

    {{{(210-167)/44}}} = 0.977  (approximately).


In the second league, you standardized score is

    {{{(210-180)/35}}} = 0.857  (approximately).


So, in the first league, your score is better in comparison with other bowlers
than in the second league.
