What is the z score of a student with a grade of 68?
What is the z score of a student with a grade of 80?

1 answer

To find the z score, we use the formula:

z = (x - μ) / σ

where x is the score, μ is the mean, and σ is the standard deviation.

For a student with a grade of 68:

z = (68 - 71) / 10
z = -0.3

The z score is -0.3.

For a student with a grade of 80:

z = (80 - 71) / 10
z = 0.9

The z score is 0.9.
