True or False (if any component is false, state why): Suppose in a standardized test which has a mean score of 530 and a standard deviation score of 50, you score a 605. This gives you a z-score of (605 - 530) / 50 = 1.5, meaning that your score was 1.5 standard deviations above the mean, which is a fairly good score. 11- Apply basic probability rules and concepts to determine the likelihood...
