Solution: Question asks the number of scores > (Mean + S.D.)
=> Mean = \(\frac{\left(40+50+60+70+80+90+100+110+120+130\right)}{10}=\frac{850}{10}=85\)
=> S.D. = 30.28. Thus,
=> Mean + S.D. = 85 + 30.28 = 115.28
It is clear that three scores (120 and 130) are greater than 115.28.
Therefore, C is the correct answer.
Answer C
=> Mean = \(\frac{\left(40+50+60+70+80+90+100+110+120+130\right)}{10}=\frac{850}{10}=85\)

=> Mean + S.D. = 85 + 30.28 = 115.28
It is clear that three scores (120 and 130) are greater than 115.28.
Therefore, C is the correct answer.
