You are applying for a job at two companies. Company A offers starting salaries with u = $33,000 and o = $1,000. Company B offers starting salaries with u = $33,000 and o = $3,000. From which company are you more likely to get an offer of $35,000 or more? Choose the correct answer below. O A. Company A, because data values that lie more than two standard deviations from the mean are considered unusual. O B. No difference, because data values that lie more than three standard deviations from the mean are considered very unusual. O C. Company B, because data values that lie within one standard deviation from the mean are not considered unusual.
