### Standardized Test Scores ComparisonEleanor scores 680 on the mathematics part of the SAT. The distribution of SAT math scores in recent years has been Normal with mean 565 and standard deviation 116.Gerald takes the ACT Assessment mathematics test and scores 27. ACT math scores are Normally distributed with mean 21.3 and standard deviation 3.7.**a. What is Eleanor's standardized score?**\[ \text{Round to 2 decimal places.}\]**b. What is Gerald's standardized score?**\[ \text{Round to 2 decimal places.}\]**c. Assuming that both tests measure the same kind of ability, who has the higher score?**- O Gerald.- O Eleanor.- O They both did equally well.### ExplanationTo find the standardized scores (also known as z-scores), we use the following formula:\[ z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}\]Where:- \( X \) is the individual’s score- \( \mu \) is the mean score- \( \sigma \) is the standard deviation**Steps to Calculate:**1. **Eleanor's standardized score:** - Eleanor's SAT score \( X = 680 \) - Mean SAT score \( \mu = 565 \) - Standard deviation of SAT score \( \sigma = 116 \) \[ z = \frac{680 - 565}{116} \approx \frac{115}{116} \approx 0.99 \]2. **Gerald's standardized score:** - Gerald's ACT score \( X = 27 \) - Mean ACT score \( \mu = 21.3 \) - Standard deviation of ACT score \( \sigma = 3.7 \) \[ z = \frac{27 - 21.3}{3.7} \approx \frac{5.7}{3.7} \approx 1.54 \]3. **Comparison:** - Compare the z-scores to determine who has the higher score relative to their respective test distributions. Therefore, based on the calculated z-scores, Gerald has the higher standardized score compared to Eleanor.Note: Values are rounded to two decimal places as specified.

One hundred teachers attended a seminar on mathematical problem solving. The attitudes of twelve of the teachers were measured before and after the seminar. A positive number for change in attitude indicates that a teacher's attitude toward math became more positive. The 12 change scores are as follows: 3; 8; -1; 1; 0; 4; -3; 2; -1; 5; 4; -2 what is the standard deviation for this sample? what is the median change score? find the change score that is 2.2 standard deviations below the mean.
