Answer 1

	A	B	C	D	E
	Candidate Score	Mean Score	Standard Deviation of score	Score above the mean sore (A-B)	Risk Adjusted Score above the mean sore (D/C)
Economics	8585	7171	77	1414	18.36
Maths	8585	6666	1111	1919	1.73
As the risk adjusted score in both the exams is greater then 1 which suggest that she performed better in both the exams compared to other students.
However the risk adjusted score is higher in Economics exam which suggest that her performance is more superior as compared to other students in Economics vs the Maths.
