- A test was given to a statistics class for nursing and accounting majors. Results for the two majors and for one student in each major are given: The nursing major scored a 7474 with μ=86 and σ=6 The accounting major scored a 7272 with μ=80 and σ=4 From the information provided, determine which student received a relatively higher grade. options Both students have the same relative grade.
