As the SAT is used for college admissions, the GRE is used for graduate school admissions. A sample of verbal and quantitative scores from the GRE are both normally distributed, with the values of 649-13-05-00-00_files/i0260000.jpg and 649-13-05-00-00_files/i0260001.jpg are given below. Verbal Quantitative 649-13-05-00-00_files/i0260002.jpg 470 550 649-13-05-00-00_files/i0260003.jpg 121 148 Kevin scored 610 on the verbal section and 700 on the quantitative section. Use the standard deviation as a unit of measurement to compare Kevin’s verbal and quantitative scores on the GRE.

It seems like the embedded image files weren't copied over properly. Regardless, I think the idea here is to see how many standard deviations away from the average Kevin scored on either section, in order to compare his scores. Generally, more standard deviations above the average would be considered better, in this context
