The z-score = (the observed value - the mean) / standard deviation.

In our problem,

the observed value = 52 points

the mean = 24.8 points

the standard deviation = 8.5 points

Let's plug our numbers into the formula above.

Z-score = (52 points - 24.8 points) / 8.5 points = 3.2

This means that at the homecoming game the team scored 3.2 times the standard deviation of the average points.
