Question

A set of data items is normally distributed with a mean of 240 and a standard deviation of 32. Convert 272 to a? z-score

Answer 1

Answer:

z-score = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Mean= μ=240

SD= σ=32

In order to find the z-score of a value, the mean is subtracted from the value and then divided by standard deviation.

The formula for z-score is:

z-score=(x-μ)/σ

Here x is the value whose z-score is to be found.

In the given question, x = 272

So,

z-score=(272-240)/32

=32/32

=1

So , the z-score for 272 is 1..
