- At a college the scores on the chemistry final exam are approximately normally distributed, with a mean of 73 and a standard deviation of 11. The scores on the calculus final are also approximately normally distributed, with a mean of 78 and a standard deviation of 12. A student scored 79 on the chemistry final and 81 on the calculus final. Relative to the students in each respective class, in which subject did the student do better? a) Calculus b) There is no basis for comparison c) Chemistry d) The student did equally well in each course e) None of the abovearrow_forwardThe standard deviation of the distribution of sample means would be equal to:arrow_forwardMost people think that the "normal" adult body temperature is 98.6°F. In a more recent study, researchers reported that a more accurate figure may be 98.1°F. Furthermore, the standard deviation appeared to be around 0.7°F.
