Explanation:
The mean height of a basketball team is 6 feet with the standard deviation of 0.2 feet. The team center is 6.9 feet tall. Find the center Z score. Is the score unusual?
The formula for z score is:
z = (x-μ)/σ, where
x is the raw score = 6.9feet
μ is the population mean = 6feet
σ is the population standard deviation = 0.2 feet
Hence:
Z = 6.9 - 6/0.2
Z = 0.9/0.2
Z = 4.5
Yes this score is unusual
