Given a population with mean $m = 60$, which of the following values for the population standard deviation would cause $X = 68$ to have the most extreme position in the distribution? $o = 2$ $o = 3$ $o = 5$ $o = 12$

Step 1
The z-score measures how many standard deviations an element is from the mean. A larger absolute z-score indicates a more extreme position. The formula for the z-score is: $z = (X - \mu) / \sigma$ Given: Mean ($\mu$) = 60 Value of X = 68 We will calculate the Show more…
