Question

Again, Julie took statistics with Professor Fisher, whose final exam scores follow a normal distribution with mean 75 and standard deviation of 6. Her score on the final was 84. Which of the two scores, Ron's or Julie's, is more impressive? Group of answer choices Ron's score is more impressive. Julie's score is more impressive. Both scores are equally impressive.

Answer 1

In the given context, we cannot determine which score is more impressive without information about Ron's score. Therefore, neither score can be considered more special, or we might say both are equally remarkable because we lack a basis for comparison.

Explanation:

To determine whether Ron's or Julie's score is more impressive, we need to consider the context of the scores about the mean and standard deviation.

Julie's score is 84, 9 points above the mean (75) in a distribution with a standard deviation of 6.

Ron's score was not provided, so we cannot directly compare it to Julie's. To make a comparison, we would need to know Ron's score and how it relates to his distribution's mean and standard deviation.
