a student scores 68 on a geography test and a 249 on a mathematics test. the geography test has a mean of 80 and a standard deviation of 10. the mathematics test has a mean of 300 and a standard deviation of 34. if the data in both tests are distributed equally, which test did the student do better one?

Respuesta :

The student did better in the test of Geography.

What is Standard Deviation ?

The standard deviation is a measure of the amount of variation or dispersion of a set of values.

To solve this question, we will use the z-score formula to find the w test in which the student scored better. The z-score formula is;

z = (x - μ)/σ

Now, for Geography we have given :

              Test score (x) = 68

                      Mean (μ) = 80

Standard deviation (σ) = 10

Thus, the z-score here will be :

z = (68 - 80)/10

z = -1.2

Similarly, for Mathematics we have given :

              Test score (x) = 249

                      Mean (μ) = 300

Standard deviation (σ) = 34

Thus, the z-score here will be :

z = (249 - 300)/34

z = -1.5

Since the z-score for Geography is less than that of Mathematics, thus, we can conclude that the Geography test is the one in which the student scored better.
