Question 1028276: For a normal distribution with mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 12, find the number of standard deviations the raw score 76 is from the mean (Give answer as a positive value rounded to nearest hundredth). Answer by rothauserc(4718) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! we use the z-score calculation
:
z-score = (X - mean) / std. dev.
:
z-score = (76 - 100) / 12 = -2
:
