Math Problem Statement

Find the X value corresponding to z = 0.75 for each of the following distributions. µ = 90 and σ = 4 X = µ = 90 and σ = 8 X = µ = 90 and σ = 12 X = µ = 90 and σ = 20 X =

Solution

To find the XX value corresponding to z=0.75z = 0.75 for each distribution, we use the following formula:

X=μ+zσX = \mu + z \cdot \sigma

Where:

  • μ\mu is the mean,
  • σ\sigma is the standard deviation,
  • zz is the z-score (which is 0.75 in this case).

1. For μ=90\mu = 90 and σ=4\sigma = 4:

X=90+(0.754)=90+3=93X = 90 + (0.75 \cdot 4) = 90 + 3 = 93

2. For μ=90\mu = 90 and σ=8\sigma = 8:

X=90+(0.758)=90+6=96X = 90 + (0.75 \cdot 8) = 90 + 6 = 96

3. For μ=90\mu = 90 and σ=12\sigma = 12:

X=90+(0.7512)=90+9=99X = 90 + (0.75 \cdot 12) = 90 + 9 = 99

4. For μ=90\mu = 90 and σ=20\sigma = 20:

X=90+(0.7520)=90+15=105X = 90 + (0.75 \cdot 20) = 90 + 15 = 105

Summary of XX-values:

  1. μ=90\mu = 90, σ=4\sigma = 4: X=93X = 93
  2. μ=90\mu = 90, σ=8\sigma = 8: X=96X = 96
  3. μ=90\mu = 90, σ=12\sigma = 12: X=99X = 99
  4. μ=90\mu = 90, σ=20\sigma = 20: X=105X = 105

Here are 5 related questions to consider:

  1. How would the value of XX change if zz was negative?
  2. What is the interpretation of a z-score in a normal distribution?
  3. Can you calculate the XX-value if zz is 1.25 for μ=90\mu = 90 and σ=12\sigma = 12?
  4. What is the significance of the standard deviation in a normal distribution?
  5. How would you find zz-values for a given XX?

Tip: The z-score tells you how many standard deviations a data point is from the mean.
