This is exactly like question 1156138 which I answered earlier today. So I'll just copy and paste it and change the numbers. Are you still not getting it? If you have questions, just ask me in the space below and I'll get back to you by email. No charge ever. You are asked to change from numbers on the x-axis on the first graph below to their corresponding numbers on the z-axis on the second graph below. On the first graph below, the mean 78 is in the middle. Then 78 plus the standard deviation 11.4 is added over and over: 78+11.4=89.4 is the first number marked right of the mean, then 89.4+11.4=100.8, etc. on the right of the mean 78, and 78-11.4=66.6, then 66.6-11.4=55.2, etc. on the left of the mean 78. Here is the x-axis of actual values which we denote by x or X:32.4 43.8 55.2 66.6 78 89.4 100.8 111.2 123.6 x We change the values of the actual x-axis values to the z-axis values below, which we call "z-scores" of the x-values above on the x-axis. The z-scores on the z-axis below are the codings of the original x-values that tell us how many times the standard deviation is added to or subtracted from the mean in the actual x-value to get the z-score corresponding to that x-value. -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 z (a) x = 85 We use the formula which we round off to -0.61, which means that the original x-value of 85 on the x-axis of the first graph above corresponds to the z-score of -0.61 on the z-axis of the second graph above. (b) x = 95 We use the formula which we round off to 1.49, which means that the original x-value of 95 on the x-axis of the first graph above corresponds to the z-score of 1.49 on the z-axis of the second graph above. (c) x = 50 We use the formula which we round off to -2.46, which means that the original x-value of 50 on the x-axis of the first graph above corresponds to the z-score of -2.46 on the z-axis of the second graph above. (d) x = 75 You do that one yourself. And please learn HOW to calculate the z-score, and ESPECIALLY, learn what it MEANS. They call it the "z-axis" and the values on it "z-scores" because it has "zero" corresponding to the mean value and "zero" begins with "z". Edwin
