In 2017 the SAT had a mean score of 1060 with standard deviation of 195 (max score of 1600) while the ACT had a mean of 20.9 with standard deviation of 5.6 (max composite score of 36). Reed and Maria apply to the same college. Maria took the SAT and received a score of 1270 while Reed took the ACT and received a score of 27. Which student performed better in relationship to their peers

Due to the higher z-score, Reed performed better in relationship to their peers

Step-by-step explanation:

Z-score:

In a set with mean and standard deviation , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question:

Whoever had the higher z-score performed better in relation to their peers.

Maria:

Took the SAT, grade 1270, so

Mean score of 1060 with standard deviation of 195 (max score of 1600). This means that . So

Reed:

Took the ACT, score of 27, so

Mean of 20.9 with standard deviation of 5.6, which means that . So

Due to the higher z-score, Reed performed better in relationship to their peers

anser is a

step-by-step explanation:

negitive slope

this shows a reflection over the x-axis and is translated one unit down and 6 units to the right (x + 6, y - 1)

hope this !
