Dr. McDonald thinks that his group of earth science students is particularly special (in a good way), and he is interested in knowing if their class average falls within the boundaries of the average score for the larger group of students who have taken earth science over the past 20 years. Because he has kept good records, he knows the means and standard deviations for both his group of 24 students and the larger group of 2000 past enrollees. Here are the data he has, and the values for which you will need to compute the z-test.
