For students who graduated from high school in 2013, the means and standard deviations of SAT and ACT math test scores are shown in Table 33. Assume the distributions are normally distributed. Many students who apply to top colleges take both tests and submit their better performance in their applications. If a student scored 675 points on the math sections of the SAT and 29 points on the math sections of the ACT, which is the relatively better score? Explain.
