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

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
