The image you provided displays exercises related to baseball salaries and statistical measures like percentiles and z-scores.

The two key exercises are:

### 15. Baseball Salaries - Brad Lidge
Brad Lidge had a salary of $6,350,000 for the 2008 season.
- **(a)** Find the percentile corresponding to Lidge’s salary and explain what the value means.
