Answer:

The Z-score for an ACT score of 26 is 1.26

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Question,

  • Given that,  In a particular year, the mean score on the ACT test was 19.3 and the standard deviation was 5.3, The mean score on the SAT mathematics test was 532 and the standard deviation was 128.

Problems of normally distributed samples(bell-shaped) can be solved using the z-score formula. In a set with mean and standard deviation, the z score of a measure X is given by

Z = (X-μ) / σ

  • the z-score for an ACT score of 26.   In a particular year, the mean score on the ACT test was 19.3 and the standard deviation was 5.3.

So, Z = (X-μ) / σ

Z = (26 - 19.3) / 5.3

Z = 1.26  

The Z-score for an ACT score of 26 is 1.26
