A successful basketball player has a height of 6 feet 9 inches, or 206 cm. Based on statistics from a data set, his height con
verts to the z score of 4.45. How many standard deviations is his height above the mean? The player's height is ____ standard deviation(s) above the mean. (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
z-score is a numerical value that tells the number of standard deviations a particular data value is away from the mean. A positive (negative) z-score indicates that the number of standard deviations a particular data value is above (below) the mean.
