Question

What is the Z-score for Paula if she got 1400 on the SAT, the mean was 1100 and the standard deviation was 275? step by step how to get +1.09
get marked the brainliest

Answer 1

mu = 1100 = population mean

sigma = 275 = population standard deviation

x = 1400 = raw score

z = z score

z = (x-mu)/sigma

z = (1400-1100)/(275)

z = 300/275

z = 1.0909090909091 approximately

z = 1.09

Convention is to round to two decimal places so that you can use a Z table to look up the area under the curve (which helps determine probability).

The positive z score is due to Paula's raw score being above the mean.
