Explanation / Answer

Answer:

Which is relatively better: a score of 77 on a psych test or a score of 62 on an economics test? Scores on the psych test have a mean of 95 and a standard deviation of 6. Scores on economic test have a mean of 64 and a standard deviation of 8.

Z score for 77, z =(77-95)/6 = -3

Z score for 62, z =(62-64)/8 = -0.25

economics test score is relatively better, its z score -0.25 > -3 the psych score.
