Problem 5

A student has final exam scores in two courses. In statistics, the final scores are approximately normally distributed with mean μS=78\mu_S=78 and standard deviation σS=9\sigma_S=9, and the student scored 8888. In calculus, the final scores are approximately normally distributed with mean μC=82\mu_C=82 and standard deviation σC=6\sigma_C=6, and the student scored 8989. On which course did the student do relatively better under the normal model?
