Answer:

The z-score is -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are asked to calculate the z-score of the height.

Mathematically, we can calculate z-score by using the formula below;

z-score = (x-mean)/SD

According to this question, mean = 44cm and SD = 3cm with x here = 38cm

Plugging these values into the z-score equation, we have

z-score = (38-44)/3 = -6/3 = -2
