If you dont know. use x as your original value. Therefore. you would have:
x - 15 + 9
after the second stop you would have:
(x - 15 + 9) - 4
So your answer would either be...
There was ______ more people on the bus before 2:30 than there was after the second stop.
There was ______ more people on the bus after the second stop than there was before 2:30.
Mean = 12000
Standard Deviation = 2000
We have to find how many standard deviations is 14,500 away from the mean.
This can be achieved by calculating the z-score
Z-score tells us how many standard deviations above or below is a sample value from the mean. A positive z value shows, sample value is above the mean.
z score can be calculated as = (Sample Value - Mean )/Standard Deviation)
So,
Z-score =
This means, 14,500 is 1.25 standard deviations above the mean value 12,000.
The answer is B) you climb up 9 flights of stairs
