Q1.

Different typing skills are required for secretaries depending on whether

one is working in a law office, an accounting firm or for a research
mathematical group at a major university. In order to evaluate candidates for
these positions, an employment agency administers three distinct standardized
typing samples. A time penalty has been incorporated into the scoring of each
sample based on the number of typing errors. The mean and standard deviation
for each test, together with the score achieved by a recent applicant named Bob
are given by in the following table.

Sample Bob’s Score Mean Standard

Deviation
Law 139 sec 180 sec 30 sec
Accounting 7.5 min 10 min 2 min
Scientific 33 min 27 min 5 min

For what type of position does Bob seem to be best suited and why?
