Three potential employees took an aptitude test. Each person took a different version of the test. The scores are reported below. Demetria got a score of 85.1; this version has a mean of 61.1 and a standard deviation of 12. Vincent got a score of 299.2; this version has a mean of 264 and a standard deviation of 22. Tobias got a score of 7.26; this version has a mean of 7.1 and a standard deviation of 0.4.
