Part 1) What is the z score for a person, who received an LSAT score of 167?
z = (x-mu)/sigma
z = (167-155)/7
z = 12/7
z = 1.71428571428571 this is approximate
z = 1.71 rounding to two decimal places
So the answer is choice A) +1.71
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part 2) What is the raw score for a person with a z score of -0.86?
z = (x-mu)/sigma
-0.86 = (x-155)/7
-0.86*7 = x-155
-6.02 = x-155
-6.02+155 = x
148.98 = x
x = 148.98
x = 149 rounding to the nearest whole number
So the answer is choice C) 149
