Use the following information for items 62-65.
A subtest of a standardized test has a mean of 40 with a standard deviation of 4. (Assume a very large sample so the test results nearly fit a normal distribution.) Cindy scores a 46 on the subtest. Cory scores a 44 on the same subtest.
62. Based on this information, the best approximation of the following of Cindy’s percentile rank is:
a.40
b.44
c.84
d.94
63.Of the following, the best description of Cory’s stanine is:

64.Cory’s z-score on the subtest would be:
a.-1.0
b. 0
c. 1.0
d. 1.5
e. 2.0
65.Cory’s T-score on the subtest would be:
a.40
