Each -score is calculated using the formula where is the student's score, is the class average, and is the class standard deviation.

So, if you substitute Carol's results, you get that .

Doing the same for Zachary and Matilda, you will have three equations with only two unknowns. So, you can find what value of and work for two of them, and then figure out for the third whether the problem is an incorrect or and then find the correction that is needed.

Thanks for the offer, but I checked and I do have it - I just didn't recognise it and thought it was an unusual / good question. :)
