Question

Adult men have heights with a mean of 69. 0 inches and a standard deviation of 2. 8 inches. find the z-score of a man who is 71. 9 inches tall. (to 4 decimal places)?

Answer 1

The value of the z score is 1.03.

According to the statement

we have given that the value of mean and standard deviation and we have to find the value of the z score.

So, For this purpose we know that the

Z-score indicates how much a given value differs from the standard deviation. The Z-score, or standard score, is the number of standard deviations a given data point lies above or below mean.

And the given values are:

mean value = 69 inches

s.d value = 2.8 inches

And the value of x is 71.9 inches.

So, The Z score is

z = x - mean / standard deviation

substitute the values in it then

z = 71.9 - 69 / 2.8

then

z = 2.9 /2.8

z  = 1.03

So, The value of the z score is 1.03.
