Base on the question that is asking to choose among the following choices that states on how many standard deviations above the mean and base on my own computation, I would say that the answer would be letter C. 1.6,  I hope you are satisfied with my answer and feel free to ask for more

Answer:

The data point is 1.6 standard deviations above the mean.

Explanation:

Z-score

It is the number of standard deviations from the mean that a data point is. It's a measure of how many standard deviations below or above the population mean a raw score is.

A Z-score is also known as a standard score and it can be placed on a normal distribution curve.

As in this case the Z-score is +1.6, so it means the data point is 1.6 standard deviations above the mean.
