Annie averages 23 points per basketball game with a standard deviation of 4 points. Suppose Annie's points per basketball game are normally distributed. Let X= the number of points per basketball game. Then X∼N(23,4)

Therefore, the z-score when X = 34 is 2.75 , the mean is 23.

The z-score tells you that X = 34 is 2.75 standard deviations to the right of the mean.

What is z-score?

The significance of the z-score lies in its ability to standardize scores, allowing for meaningful comparisons between different sets of data. A z-score of 0 indicates a data point that is exactly average for the given dataset, while positive and negative z-scores indicate values above and below the mean, respectively.

Given that

X∼N(23,4)

Annie average(mean) = 23

Standard deviation = 4

Let find the z score using the formula

z = (X - mean)/S.D

where

X is number of points per basketball game

X = 34

z = (34 - 23)/4

z = 11/4

= 2.75

Therefore, the z-score when X = 34 is 2.75 , the mean is 23.

The z-score tells you that X = 34 is 2.75 standard deviations to the right of the mean.
