Compute the standard score (Z-score) for x when x = 42, the mean of the distribution is 26, and the standard deviation is 8. Z = (x - mean) / standard deviation
Added by Lorena N.
Step 1
Recall that the formula for calculating the Z-score is: Z = (x - μ) / σ where x is the value we want to standardize, μ is the mean of the distribution, and σ is the standard deviation. Show more…

Calculate the z-score given the mean, standard deviation, and a data point; x̄=6, x=4, s=4.
Amine Y.
In a distribution of scores, $X=64$ corresponds to $z=1.00$, and $X=67$ corresponds to $z=2.00$. Find the mean and standard deviation for the distribution.
Assume that z-scores are normally distributed with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1. If P(z > d) = 0.8802, find d.
