Show your complete solution to the following questions.

1. At ABC University, a group of students was selected and asked how much of
their weekly allowance they spent in buying mobile phone load. The following is the list of
amounts spent: Php 120, 110, 100, 200, 10, 90, 100, 100. Calculate the mean, the range, and
the standard deviation.

d. In which class did you do better? Explain how you analyze it.

My score in Math may be higher than my grade in Science but the z score in Science is
greater. The standard deviation is a bit low in Science as well. It is farther from the mean,
which means that I did better in Science compared to my classmates scores, and compared
to my Math class.
