Work Step by Step

Let's find the z-scores: SAT math score: $z=\frac{x-µ}{σ}=\frac{610-515}{114}=0.833$ This means that his SAT math score is 0.833 standard deviations above the mean. ACT math score: $z=\frac{x-µ}{σ}=\frac{27-21.0}{5.1}=1.176$ This means that his ACT math score is 1.176 standard deviations above the mean.
