Math Problem Statement
Daily Caloric Intake According to one source, people eat on average 3540calories per day. If the standard deviation is 325calories, find the z score for each raw score. Round z scores to at least two decimal places.
The z score corresponding to 3320 calories is
Solution
To find the z-score corresponding to a raw score, we use the z-score formula:
Where:
- = raw score (3320 calories)
- = mean (3540 calories)
- = standard deviation (325 calories)
Now substitute the values:
Rounding to two decimal places:
Thus, the z-score corresponding to 3320 calories is -0.68.

Here are five related questions:
- What is the interpretation of a negative z-score?
- How would the z-score change if the raw score were higher than the mean?
- What is the probability associated with this z-score?
- How do you compute the z-score for a raw score of 3800 calories?
- How does the standard deviation affect the spread of z-scores?
Tip: The z-score tells you how many standard deviations a raw score is from the mean.
