3. Jean's scores on five mathematics tests were 98, 97, 99, 98, and 96. Her scores on five English tests were 78, 84, 95, 72, and 79. Which statement is true about the standard deviations for the scores? 1) The standard deviation for the English scores is greater than the standard deviation for the math scores. 2) The standard deviation for the math scores is greater than the standard deviation for the English scores. 3) The standard deviations for both sets of scores are equal. 4) More information is needed to determine the relationship between the standard deviations.

Aaliyah and Lloyd began arguing about who did better on their tests, but they couldn't decide who did better given that they took different tests. Aaliyah took a test in Social Studies and earned a 79.8, and Lloyd took a test in Science and earned a 68.4. Use the fact that all the students' test grades in the Social Studies class had a mean of 74.1 and a standard deviation of 9.6, and all the students' test grades in Science had a mean of 60.9 and a standard deviation of 8.6 to answer the following questions. a) Calculate the z-score for Aaliyah's test grade. 2 = [Round your answer to two decimal places.] b) Calculate the z-score for Lloyd's test grade. 2 = [Round your answer to two decimal places.] c) Which person did relatively better? O Aaliyah O Lloyd O They did equally well.
You have a sample of 48 randomly selected Vancouverites. On average (the sample mean), the people in your sample spent 425 hours eating food in 2020. The least time a person in the sample spent eating food in 2020 is 367 hours and the most time a person in the sample spent eating food in 2020 is 484 hours. What would be your best guess about the population standard deviation of the time a Vancouverite spent eating food in 2020? Give the number and explain (including assumptions you make about the population distribution).
