You can put this solution on YOUR website! A sample of n=20 has a mean of m=40. If the standard deviation us s=5, would a score of x=55 be an extreme value?
-----
z(55) = (55-40)/5 = 3
----
Ans: Yes, because the value is 3 standard deviations above the mean
The sample size does not matter because you are not measuring sample
means.
