Suppose a group of 100 students takes two similar tests and the scores on both tests have a mean of 65 with a standard deviation of 14. If a student’s score on the second test is 52, would you predict that this student’s score on the first test was
(a) below 52,
(b) 52,
(c) between 52 and 65,
(d) 65, or
