Answer to Question 1

The mean identifies the center of the distribution and the standard deviation measures the average distance from the mean. The scores in the specific distribution would be centered around a value of 40 with most of the scores located between 36 and 44 but a few scores as much as 8 or 10 points away from 40.

Answer to Question 2

B

Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis has a slowly progressive process that, unlike invasive aspergillosis, does not spread to other organ systems or the blood vessels. It most often affects middle-aged and elderly individuals, spreading to surrounding tissue in the lungs. The disease often does not respond to conventionally successful treatments, and requires individualized therapies in order to keep it from becoming life-threatening.
