On a standardized exam, the scores are normally distributed with a mean of 450 and a standard deviation of 25. Find the z-score of a person who scored 470 on the exam.

Respuesta :

A Z-score helps us to understand how far is the data from the mean. The z-score of a person who scored 470 on the exam is 0.8.

What is Z-score?

A Z-score helps us to understand how far is the data from the mean. It is a measure of how many times the data is above or below the mean. It is given by the formula,

[tex]Z = \dfrac{X- \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

Where Z is the Z-score,

X is the data point,

μ is the mean and σ is the standard variable.

Given the mean is 450, while the standard deviation is 25, therefore, the value of the z-score can be written as,

[tex]Z = \dfrac{X- \mu}{\sigma}\\\\Z(X=470) = \dfrac{470- 450}{25} = 0.8[/tex]

Hence,  the z-score of a person who scored 470 on the exam is 0.8.
