Imagine that the mean (µ) for Dr. Bates’ chemistry exam in Winter 2020 = 75. You obtain a score of x = 80. The standard deviation (s) for the Winter 2020 exam is 2. When Dr. Bates teaches chemistry in Spring 2020, the class average (µ) = 85 on the exam and the standard deviation (s) = 2 (like it did in Winter 2020). In which class, Winter 2020 or Spring 2020, is the mean doing a better job of representing the data, and why? Explain your answer.
