Colleges typically use grade point average cutoffs to decide who graduates with honors and who is accepted into certain programs (such as teacher education, for example). Suppose at a particular college, a GPA of 3.0 is the cutoff for such a decision. The students in department A have a grade point average of 3.77 with a standard deviation of 0.43 (for all course grades in classes taken in the department in a particular academic year).
The students in department B have a grade point average of 2.65 with a standard deviation of 1.16 for that same academic year. One student has taken most of his courses from department A; another student has taken most of her courses from department B. Both students have a GPA of 3.0. Compare the z-scores of the two students.
Interpret what these z-scores mean.
