We want to find how far away the city manager salaries are from the mean for each city. Some cities have more variation in salaries than others, so we will compute how far the highest paid salaries are from the mean, and then divide that difference by the standard deviation of the city salaries, in order to make a fair comparison. In other words, we are going to calculate how many standard deviations the highest salaries are from their city means. G. For the city of Bell - what is the highest salary and which job is it? H. For the city of Bell - how many standard deviations is the highest salary from the mean? Note: this is a z-score, so use (salary - mean salary)/SD I.

K. For context, it's normal to see city manager salaries 4 or even 5 standard deviations away from the mean. What do you find curious about this data? L. Wr"te a paragraph of a few sentences that would explain to a non-stats-person why this outcome was worth publishing in the news.
