Question

A basketball player averages 22.5 points scored per game with a standard deviation of 6.2 points. In one game, the number of points the athlete scored was 1.2 standard deviations below his mean. How many points below average was this value?

Answer 1

Answer: 15.06

Step-by-step explanation:

Average points per game (mean) (m) = 22.5

Standard deviation (sd) = 6.2

Number of point scored in a game is 1.2 standard deviations below the mean, how many points below average was the value

1.2 standard deviations = (1.2 * value of standard deviation) = (1.2 × 6.2) = 7.44

Hence, 1.2 standard deviations below the mean equals :

Mean - 7.44

22.5 - 7.44 = 15.06

Hence, score = 15.06

Answer 2

Answer:

7.44 points below the average

Explanation:

Multiply 6.2 by 1.2 to get 7.44. This is the positive equivalent of how many points below.
