Jack and Jill are both enthusiastic players of a certain computer game. Over the past year, Jack’s mean score when playing the game is 12,400 with a standard deviation of 1500. During the same period, Jill’s mean score is 14,200, with a standard deviation of 2000. They devise a fair contest: each one will play the game once, and they will compare z-scores. Jack gets a score of 14,000, and Jill gets a score of 16,000. Who won the contest, and what were each of their z-scores?

• Jack’s z = 1.07; Jill’s z = 1.11; Jill wins the contest

• Jack’s z = 1.07; Jill’s z = 0.90; Jack wins the contest

• Jack’s z = 0.94; Jill’s z = 1.11; Jill wins the contest

• Jack’s z = 0.94; Jill’s z = 0.90; Jack wins the contest

• Jack’s z = 0.81; Jill’s z = 0.99; Jill wins the contest

The sign of the z-score indicates whether the location is above(positive) or below(negative) the mean.

• True

• False
