Problema Solution

Given a mean of 571 and a standard deviation of 236.5, what is the z-score of the value 724 rounded to the nearest tenth

Answer provided by our tutors

A z-score can be calculated from the following formula.


z = (x - μ) / σ


where z is the z-score, x is the value of the element, μ is the population mean, and σ is the standard deviation.


x = 724


μ = 571


σ = 236.5


z = (724 - 571)/236.5


z = 0.6 rounded to the nearest tenth
