Suppose X~ N (−2,8) .
(a) What value of x has a z-score of 3?
(b) What value of x has a z-score of −2.7 ?
(c) What is the z-score of x =−3 ?
solution
(A)
Using z-score formula
x= z * +
x= 3 *8+-2
x= 22
(B)
Using z-score formula
x= z * +
x= -2.7 *8+-2
x= -23.6
(C)
using z-score formula
z =X -/
z=(-3)-(-2)/8
z= - 0.125
