Kamala had the best GPA compared to other students at his school, since his GPA is 2 standard deviations above his school's mean.
Step-by-step explanation:
The z-score measures how many standard deviation a score X is above or below the mean.
it is given by the following formula:
In which
In this problem:
The student with the best GPA compared to other students at his school is the one with the higher z-score, that is, the one whose grade is the most standard deviations above the mean for his school
Thuy
Student GPA| School Average GPA| School Standard Deviation
Thuy 2.7| 3.2| 0.8
So![X = 2.7, \mu = 3.2, \sigma = 0.8](/tpl/images/0513/2888/f9e49.png)
Thuy's score is -0.625 standard deviations below his school mean.
Vichet
Student GPA| School Average GPA| School Standard Deviation
Vichet 88| 75| 20
So![X = 88, \mu = 75, \sigma = 20](/tpl/images/0513/2888/d4172.png)
Vichet's score is 0.65 standard deviation above his school mean
Kamala
Student GPA| School Average GPA| School Standard Deviation
Kamala 8.8| 8| 0.4
So![X = 8.8, \mu = 8, \sigma = 0.4](/tpl/images/0513/2888/0998f.png)
Kamala's score is 2 standard deviations above his school mean.
Kamala has the higher z-score, so he had the best GPA when compared to other students at his school.
The correct answer is:
Kamala had the best GPA compared to other students at his school, since his GPA is 2 standard deviations above his school's mean.
