Question 1080271: The 2007 AP Statistics examination scores were not normally distributed, with µ = 2.80 and σ = 1.34^1 What is the approximate z- score that corresponds to an exam
score of 5 (The scores range from 1 - 5).
(a) 0.786
(b) 1.46
(c) 1.64
(d) 2.20
(e) A z-score can not be calculated because the distribution is not normal.

Although you can compute a z score, since it's not normally distributed, the z score doesn't mean the same thing as when it's normally distributed.
Without more information about the data, you couldn't accurately get the z score that corresponds to a score of 5.
