I took a course with other 10 students. After the final exam, the professor reported statistical result of scores to us: 1. The range of score: 46~98; 2. The average score: 73.3; 3 The S.D of score: 14.3; I got 81, without any further information, how do I know the probabilities for me to be ranked in the 2nd place or the last 2nd place?

    $\begingroup$ Is this a probability course? If so, the answer is that you are in second place -- if you can figure out the answer. $\endgroup$
