Seventy new jobs are opening up at an automobile manufacturing plant, and 1000 applicants show up for the 70 positions. To select the best 70 from among the applicants, the company gives a test that covers mechanical skill, manual dexterity, and mathematical ability. The mean grade on this test turns out to be 60, and the scores have a standard deviation of 6. Can a person who scores 84 count on getting one of the jobs? Assume that the distribution is symmetric about the mean. Explain your work.
