Problem

What is the z-score of the price of a pair of skis that cost $247, if the mean ski price is $279, with a standard deviation of $16?

2

Step

x = $247 , \$\mu\$ = $279 , \$\sigma\$ = $16

3

Formula:

z-score = \$\frac{x- \mu}{\sigma}\$

4

Step

Put x = 247 in the formula

z-score = \$\frac{247- \mu}{\sigma}\$

5

Step

Then substract the mean by substution

z-score = \$\frac{247- 279}{\sigma}\$ = \$\frac{-32}{\sigma}\$

6

Step

Divide the obtained value by standard devation \$\sigma\$ = 16

z-score = \$\frac{-32}{16}\$

7

Step

z-score at $247

-2

8

Hint

measured value 247 is less than mean 279

z-score is negative
