Question 993636
A score that is 12 points above the mean corresponds to a z-score of 2. What is the standard deviation? I took 12/2=6. solving 6 as my standard deviation but not sure if correct formula
-----
You are correct.
If a number has a z-score of 2 that means the number is
2 standard deviations to the right of the mean.
---
If the mean is zero, and 12 is 2 std to the right,
the std must be 12/2 = 6.
