Consider a normal population with μ = 40 and σ = 4.2. Calculate the z-score for an x of 49 from a sample of size 15. (Give your answer correct to two decimal places
Solution :
Given ,
mean =
= 40
standard deviation =
= 4.2
n=15
=49
= 40
=
/
n = 4.2/
15=1.0844
using z-score formula
z =
-
/
z=49-40/1.0844
z=8.30
z-score=8.30
(B) when n is not given than
using z-score formula
z =X -/
z=49-40/4.2
z=2.14
z-score=2.14
