Question 1117625: A particular group of men have heights with a mean of
183183
cm and a standard deviation of
66
cm.
EarlEarl
had a height of
194194
cm.
a.a.
What is the positive difference between
EarlEarl's
height and the mean?
b.b.
How many standard deviations is that [the difference found in part (a)]?
c.c.
Convert
EarlEarl's
height to a z score.
d.d.
If we consider "usual" heights to be those that convert to z scores between
minus−2
and 2, is
EarlEarl's
height usual or unusual?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The absolute difference is 194-183=11 cm.
I think the SD is more like 6 cm. I will use that
That is 11/6 or 1.83 of a SD.
A z-score is (x-mean)/sd
The z-score is 11/6 or +1.83
This falls within the (-2, 2) range and the height would not be considered unusual.
