Suppose a normal distribution has a mean of six and a standard deviation of 1.5. What is the z -score of x = 5.5?
z ≈ –0.33
In a normal distribution, x = 5 and z = –1.25. This tells you that x = 5 is ____ standard deviations to the ____ (right or left) of the mean.
In a normal distribution, x = 3 and z = 0.67. This tells you that x = 3 is ____ standard deviations to the ____ (right or left) of the mean.
0.67, right
In a normal distribution, x = –2 and z = 6. This tells you that x = –2 is ____ standard deviations to the ____ (right or left) of the mean.
In a normal distribution, x = –5 and z = –3.14. This tells you that x = –5 is ____ standard deviations to the ____ (right or left) of the mean.
3.14, left
In a normal distribution, x = 6 and z = –1.7. This tells you that x = 6 is ____ standard deviations to the ____ (right or left) of the mean.
About what percent of x values from a normal distribution lie within one standard deviation (left and right) of the mean of that distribution?
about 68%
About what percent of the x values from a normal distribution lie within two standard deviations (left and right) of the mean of that distribution?
