1) If Larry gets a 70 on a physicstest where the meanis 65 and the standard deviationis 5.8, where does he stand in relation to his classmates? (Points: 5)
He is in the top 10%.
He is in the top 20%.
He is in the bottom 20%.
He is in the bottom 10%.
2. Let’s assume you have taken 100 samples of size 64 each from a normally distributed population. Calculate the standard deviation of the sample means if the population’s varianceis 49. (Points: 5)

(1) z = (x – m)/s = (70 – 65)/5.8 = 0.8621
P(z > 0.8621) = 0.1943 or (19.43%), which means Larry is in the top 20%, …
