Math Problem Statement
The average score on the Stats midterm was 72 points with a standard deviation of 66 points, and FranzFranz's z-score was 11. How many points did he score? Question content area bottom Part 1 He scored enter your response here points.
Solution
To find Franz's score, we can use the formula for calculating the z-score:
where:
- is the z-score,
- is the score,
- is the mean (average score),
- is the standard deviation.
Given:
We can rearrange the formula to solve for :
Now, substitute the values:
Franz scored 798 points.
If you have any questions or need further details, feel free to ask! Here are some follow-up questions:
- What does a high z-score indicate about a student's performance?
- How would you interpret a negative z-score?
- What would Franz's score need to be to have a z-score of 0?
- How do you calculate the standard deviation from a data set?
- What are some other statistical measures besides mean and standard deviation?
Tip: Always consider the context of z-scores in relation to the overall distribution of scores.
