A successful basketball player has a height of 6 feet 9 ​inches, or 206 cm. Based on statistics from a data​ set, his height converts 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.)

Answer 1

Answer:

4.45

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Height of basketball player is 206 cm.

z-score = 4.45

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.

In this case, it is given that the z-score is 4.45 (positive).

Hence, it could be concluded that the player's height is 4.45 standard deviation(s) above the mean.
