Question

Scores on Ms. Bond's test have a mean of 70 and a standard deviation of 11. Michelle has a score of 48. Convert Michelle's score to a z-score. (Round to two decimal places if necessary.)

Answer 1

-2.00

Explanation:

Applying,

Z = (x-μ)/σ.................. Equation 1

Where Z = Michelle z-score, x = Michelle score, μ = mean of the score, σ = Standard deviation of the score.

From the question,

Given: x = 48, μ = 70, σ = 11

Substitute these values into equation 1

Z = (48-70)/11

Z = -22/11

Z = -2.00

Hence Michelle's z-score is -2.00
