Answer to Question 1

Since Hayden's z-score is positive, he scored above the mean of 550 . The value, 2.5, indicates he scored 2.5 standard deviations from the mean. One standard deviation is 100, so 2.5 standard deviations is 250 . Therefore, Hayden scored 250 points above the mean of 550, or 800 on the GMAT.

Answer to Question 2

Coefficient of Variation for 1998 = 18
Coefficient of Variation for 1999 = 17
Since 18 > 17, 1998 shows a more dispersed distribution.
