Alice was told that her reading test score was 2 standard deviations below the mean. If test scores were approximately normal with [tex]\mu=80[/tex] and [tex]\sigma=3[/tex], what was Alice's score? Do not include units in your answer. For example, if you found that the score was 86 points, you would enter 86.

To determine Alice's reading test score, we need to account for her score being 2 standard deviations below the mean of the test scores. We are given the following information:

- The mean score [tex]\(\mu\)[/tex] is 80.
- The standard deviation [tex]\(\sigma\)[/tex] is 3.
- Alice's score is 2 standard deviations below the mean.

Here is the step-by-step calculation:

1. Calculate the total amount by which Alice's score is below the mean:
[tex]\(2 \times \sigma = 2 \times 3 = 6\)[/tex].

2. Subtract this value from the mean to find Alice's score:
[tex]\(\mu - 6 = 80 - 6 = 74\)[/tex].

Therefore, Alice's score is [tex]\(74\)[/tex].
