Question

At a college the scores on the chemistry final exam are approximately normally distributed, with a mean of 73 and a standard deviation of 11. The scores on the calculus final are also approximately normally distributed, with a mean of 78 and a standard deviation of 12. A student scored 79 on the chemistry final and 81 on the calculus final. Relative to the students in each respective class, in which subject did the student do better?

a) Calculus

b) There is no basis for comparison

c) Chemistry

d) The student did equally well in each course

e) None of the above

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
