Respuesta :

Answer:

a. Missy

Step-by-step explanation:

The z-score is how manu standard deviations a measure of normally distributed random variable is above or below the mean.

A negative z-score indicates that the measure is below the mean.

A positive z-score indicates the measure is above the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Missy has a higher z-score than Frank. This means that he had a better relative score on her exam than Frank

So the correct answer is:

a. Missy
