Todd and Garrett began arguing about who did better on their tests, but they couldn't decide who did better given that they took different tests. Todd took a test in Math and earned a 74.6, and Garrett took a test in English and earned a 68.8. Use the fact that all the students' test grades in the Math class had a mean of 70.6 and a standard deviation of 11.9, and all the students' test grades in English had a mean of 63.7 and a standard deviation of 8.6 to answer the following questions. Required:
a. Calculate the z-score for Todd's test grade.
b. Calculate the z-score for lan's test grade.
c. Which person did relatively better?

Part A

For Todd's class, we have this given info:

Compute the z score for x = 74.6

z = (x-mu)/sigma

z = (74.6 - 70.6)/(11.9)

z = 0.34 approximately

Side note: Convention usually has z scores rounded to two decimal places. If your teacher instructs otherwise, then go with those instructions of course.

Part B

For Garret's English class, we have:

Compute the z score for x = 68.8

z = (x-mu)/sigma

z = (68.8 - 63.7)/(8.6)

z = 0.59 approximately

Part C

Garret has the higher z score, which means that Garret did relatively better to his classmates compared to Todd's performance (in relation to his classmates). The z score is the distance, in units of standard deviation, the score is from the mean. Positive z values are above the mean, while negative z values are below the mean.
