The score on a standardized test for a certain year is modeled using the normal distribution shown below. The mean of the distribution is 56.7 points and the standard deviation is 4.8 points. In the figure, V is a number along the axis and is under the highest part of the curve. And, U and W are numbers along the axis that are each the same distance away from V. Use the empirical rule to choose the best value for the percentage of the area under the curve that is shaded, and find the values of U, V, and W. Percentage of total area shaded: (Choose one) v 68% 95% 99.7% 40 45 50 55 O 60 65 | 70 75 Test score
The standard deviation of pulse rates of adult males is less than 10 bpm. For a random sample of 144 adult males, the pulse rates have a standard deviation of 9.1 bpm. Find the value of the test statistic.
Logan and Brian began arguing about who did better on their tests, but they couldn't decide who did better given that they took different tests. Logan took a test in Art History and earned a 76.8, and Brian took a test in English and earned a 68.9. Use the fact that all the students' test grades in the Art History class had a mean of 71.9 and a standard deviation of 11.6, and all the students' test grades in English had a mean of 61 and a standard deviation of 9.4 to answer the following questions.a) Calculate the z-score for Logan's test grade.z=z= [Round your answer to two decimal places.] b) Calculate the z-score for Brian's test grade.z=z= [Round your answer to two decimal places.]c) Which person did relatively better? Logan Brian They did equally well.

Exam scores in a large class are normally distributed with a mean of 55 and standard deviation of 10. The teacher decides to boost the scores by adding 20 points to everyone’s score. Elizabeth’s original score on the exam was 75, so her new score is 95. The z-score corresponding to her new score (relative to the other new scores) will be:
