The first two are correct.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# 3

Using the formula , if the z-score is 1, then























So if x=176, then the z-score is 1.

---------------------------------------------------
# 4

Using the formula , if the z-score is -0.875, then























So if x=146, then the z-score is -0.875.

Let μ = 160 and σ = 16.
Find the z-score for the score 180 = 1.25
Find the z-score for the score 150 = -0.625
------
For the following problems,
since z = (x-u)/s, x = zs + u
--------------
Find the score x if the z-score = 1
x = 1*16 + 160 = 176
--------------------------
Find the score x if the z-score = x = −0.875
x = -0.875*16+160 = 146
