QuestionFind a zz-score for a data value of 7 if the mean of a set of data is 58 and the standard deviation is 16.9.
Round your answer to at least two decimal places. \square

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. The mean (μ\mu) of the data set is 58.
2. The standard deviation (σ\sigma) of the data set is 16.9.
3. The data value (XX) for which we need to find the zz-score is 7.
4. The formula for the zz-score is given by z=Xμσ z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma} .

STEP 2

1. Identify the values needed for the zz-score formula.
2. Substitute the values into the zz-score formula.
3. Calculate the zz-score and round to at least two decimal places.

STEP 3

Identify the values needed for the zz-score formula:
- Data value (XX): 7 - Mean (μ\mu): 58 - Standard deviation (σ\sigma): 16.9

STEP 4

Substitute the values into the zz-score formula:
z=75816.9 z = \frac{7 - 58}{16.9}

STEP 5

Calculate the zz-score:
z=5116.9 z = \frac{-51}{16.9}
z3.02 z \approx -3.02
Round the zz-score to at least two decimal places:
z3.02 z \approx -3.02
The zz-score is:
3.02 \boxed{-3.02}
