Answer:

720

Explanation:

To solve this question, we would be using the formula for z- score

The formula for calculating a z-score is z = (x-μ)/σ

where x = raw score

μ = population mean

σ = sigma = population standard deviation.

From the question, we are given

The mean of a set of credit scores Mu = 690

sigma = population standard deviation 14

z - score = 3.3

This means we are to find x

z = (x-μ)/σ

3.3 = x - 690/ 14

Cross Multiply

3.3 × 14 = x - 690

46.2 = x - 690

x = 690 + 46.2

x = 736.2

Since we are told that it is a range, the closest out of the options given to our calculated x which is 736.2 is 720
