Answer:

Nico

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to compare who had the best performance on the aptitude test, we can use Z score. Z score indicates how many standard deviation a result  is over the mean. For this case the higher the result is, the best is the performance on the aptitude test.

Z score is expressed with the following formula:

Z=(X-μ)/σ

Where:

X is the test score

µ is the mean

σ is the standard deviation

Replacing in the formula we obtained

For Nico:

X = 88.3

µ = 66.2

σ = 13

Z=(88.3-66.2)/13=1.7

For Justin:

X = 226.2

µ = 216

σ = 17

Z=(226.2-216)/17=0.6

For Tera:

X = 7.97

µ = 7.2

σ = 0.7

Z=(7.97-7.2)/0.7=1.1

Nico had the higher Z score which means he had the better performance on the test and he should be offered the job.
