Question

Using fluorescent imaging techniques, researchers observed that the position of binding sites on HIV peptides is approximately Normally distributed with a mean of 2.45 microns and a standard deviation of 0.35 micron. What is the standardized score for a binding site position of 2.03 microns? (Enter your answer rounded to one decimal place.)

Answer 1

The values is

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The population mean is
`\mu = 2.45`

The standard deviation is
`\sigma = 0.35 \ mi`

The random value is
`x = 2.03`

The standardized score for a binding site position of 2.03 microns is mathematically represented as

`z-score = (x - \mu)/( \sigma )`

=>
`z-score = (2.03 - 2.45)/( 0.35)`

=>
`z-score = -1.2`
