Given a mean of 7.6 and a standard deviation of 3.1, within how many standard deviations of the mean do the values 10, 9, 11, 5, and 3 fall?

Respuesta :

the correct answer is 2

Answer:

The z-score value of the data is -0.838.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A mean of 7.6 and a standard deviation of 3.1.

To find : How many standard deviations of the mean do the values 10, 9, 11, 5, and 3 fall?

Solution :

Mean [tex]\mu=7.6[/tex]

Standard deviation [tex]\sigma=3.1[/tex]

Values 10, 9, 11, 5, and 3 i.e. x=5

The z-score value for x=5 is given by

[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]z=\frac{5-7.6}{3.1}[/tex]

[tex]z=\frac{-2.6}{3.1}[/tex]

[tex]z=-0.838[/tex]

The z-score value of the data is -0.838.
