Since we cannot be 100% sure which test Frank did better on, we need to find a way to make the comparison doable. This can be done by converting Frank's score to the standard score (or also known as the z-score).

The z-score is calculated through the following formula:
Z= \frac{X-mean}{deviation} where X is Frank's original score.

Converting Frank's scores to a standard score accounting for both the mean and standard deviation of the population who took the test will make the comparison possible.

We get the following z-scores after conversion:
Z_{Bio}= \frac{55-60}{10} =-0.5
Z_{Chem}= \frac{70-80}{15} =-0.67

If you read up more on the concept of z-score, you may know that this score just means the amount of standard deviations a data falls with respect to the mean. Comparing Frank's two scores, we can see that they are both below the mean. However, it can be seen that Frank's z-score for his chemistry test is lower than his z-score for his biology test.

This suggests that Frank scored relatively poorer in chemistry than he did in biology.

ANSWER: Frank did better in his biology test.

How would the mean change if the number 52 replaced the number 12 in the set?
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

increase

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find the mean of the given data set without any change.

10 + 61 + 10 + 44 + 21 + 79 + 27 + 12 = 264

264 ÷ 8 = <u>33</u>

Now that we have the mean, we can find the mean of the data set with the change of 52.

10 + 61 + 10 + 44 + 21 + 79 + 27 + 52 = 304

304 ÷ 8 = <u>38</u>

<u />

From this, we can see that the mean has increased with the change of 12 to 52. Thus, that's the correct option.

hope this helps!
