Question

If a random variable that is normally distributed has a mean of 25 and a standard deviation of

3, convert the given value to a z-score.
a. x = 23
b. x = 33
c. x = 19
d. x = 45

Answer 1

Explanation:

To convert a value to a z-score, you need to subtract the mean and divide by the standard deviation. Here is how to convert each value to a z-score:

a. x = 23: (23 - 25) / 3 = -0.67

b. x = 33: (33 - 25) / 3 = 2.33

c. x = 19: (19 - 25) / 3 = -1.67

d. x = 45: (45 - 25) / 3 = 6.67

Therefore, the z-scores are -0.67, 2.33, -1.67, and 6.67 for values a, b, c, and d respectively.
