z/sigma = score - mean
2 sigma = 88 - mean
-sigma = 79 - mean
subtract second equation from first.
3 sigma = 9
sigma = 3 is the standard deviation
Use either equation to get the mean
2 sigma = 88 - mean
-sigma = 79 - mean
subtract second equation from first.
3 sigma = 9
sigma = 3 is the standard deviation
