Two standardized tests, test A and test B, use very different scales. Assume that in one year the distribution of scores on test A can be modeled by N(1300,250) and scores on test B can be modeled by N(15, 3). If an applicant to a university has taken test A and scored 1670 and another student has taken test B and scored 19, compare these students' scores using z-values. Which one has a higher relative score? Explain. The Z-value of...
