The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

Mean 1: 529
Mean 2: 514
ST: 117

529 - 514 = 15
15 / 117 = .13

I hope this helps and if you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to ask again.

Answer:

B. 0.91

Step-by-step explanation:

The College Board states that the average math SAT score is 514 with a standard deviation of 117. Colleen gathered data from 50 students in her graduating class.

She found the average score to be 529.

We know that,

[tex]z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

Here,

x = 529,

μ = 514,

σ = 117,

n = 50,

Putting the values,

[tex]z=\dfrac{529-514}{\frac{117}{\sqrt{50}}}=0.91[/tex]
