Question 865385: The local grocery store sells a gallon of milk for $3.04. If the average price for a gallon of milk is $2.94 with a standard deviation of $0.19, find the z-score for the price of the gallon of milk.
How would I find the z score?
Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
mean: mu = 2.94 (the symbol commonly used is mu = )
standard deviation: sigma = 0.19 (the symbol commonly used is sigma = )

Raw Score: x = 3.04

-------------------------------------------------------

Z-score

So the z-score is approximately z = 0.52631578947369

Round that accordingly if you need to (ex: if they want 2 decimal places, then don't forget to round to z = 0.53)
