Based on the normal distribution graph you provided, let's address the questions one by one.

### 1. **What is the mean?**
- From the graph, the mean is located at the peak of the bell curve, which appears to be **54**. Therefore, **54** should be the correct value for the mean (not 54.14 as previously entered).

### 2. **What is the standard deviation?**
- By observing the spread of the data, one standard deviation from the mean seems to extend from **54 to 63** (or from **54 to 45** on the left). Hence, the standard deviation would be **9** (not 9.23 as entered).

### 3. **What percentage of values should fall between 54 and 59?**
- To calculate this, we need to find the **z-scores** for 54 and 59 and look up the area under the normal curve:
  - For \( z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma} \):
    - \( z_{54} = \frac{54 - 54}{9} = 0 \)
    - \( z_{59} = \frac{59 - 54}{9} = 0.56 \)

Using a **z-table**, the area to the left of \( z = 0 \) is 0.5000, and the area to the left of \( z = 0.56 \) is approximately 0.7123.

Thus, the percentage of values between 54 and 59 is:
\[
0.7123 - 0.5000 = 0.2123 \text{ or } 21.23\%
\]

### 4. **Which value has a z-score of -2?**
- Using the z-score formula:
  \[
  z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}
  \]
  where \( z = -2 \), \( \mu = 54 \), and \( \sigma = 9 \):
  \[
  -2 = \frac{x - 54}{9}
  \]
  Solving for \( x \):
  \[
  x = -2 \times 9 + 54 = 36
  \]
Thus, the value corresponding to a z-score of -2 is **36**.

Would you like more detailed steps or clarifications on any part of this? Here are some related questions for further practice:

1. What percentage of values fall between 45 and 54?
2. What is the z-score for a value of 60?
3. How much area lies under the normal curve for a z-score greater than 1.5?
4. How do you calculate the probability of a value being less than 49?
5. How does changing the standard deviation affect the shape of the normal curve?

**Tip:** For normal distributions, about 68% of values fall within one standard deviation of the mean, and 95% fall within two standard deviations.

The graph of a normally distributed random variable is given. Use the graph to answer the questions that follow:
1. What is the mean?
2. What is the standard deviation?
3. What percentage of values should fall between 54 and 59?
4. Which value has a z-score of -2?
