The z-score is equal to 0.
The z-score value indicates the number of standard deviations a score is from the mean of a data.
A z-score can either be to the right or to the left. A positive z-score implies that the score is on
the right side of the mean while a negative z-score is on the left side of the mean. Additionally,
when the z-score is zero (0), it implies that the score is at the mean.

Harry’s z-score is 1.5, which implies that his score is 1.5 standard deviations to the right side of
the sample mean.

a. p(z >+1.25)
From the Standard Normal Table, the area below +1.25 = P ( z<+ 1.25 )=0.8944
Therefore;
P ( z>+ 1.25 )=1−P ( z <+1.25 )
¿ 1−0.8944
¿ 0.1056
b. p ( z>−2.10 )
From the Standard Normal Table, the area below 2.1 = P ( z< 2.10 )=0. 9821
Therefore;
P ( z>−2.1 )=P ( z<+ 1.25 )
¿ 0. 9821
c. p(z <−1.87)
From the Standard Normal Table, the area below 1.87= P ( z< 1.87 )=0.9 693
Therefore;
P ( z<−1.87 )=1−P ( z <+1.87 )

d. p(z <+2.68)
From the Standard Normal Table, the area below +2.68 = P ( z<+ 2.68 )=0. 9963
Therefore;
P ( z<+ 1.25 )=0.1056

Population mean, µ = 112
Population standard deviation, σ = 10
a) Lower than 100
Using the given mean and standard deviation, the probability of a score less than 100 is;
P ( x< 100 )=P ( x−μ<100−112 )=P ( x−μ
σ
<
100−112
10 )
x−μ
Since the z-score, z=

100−112
z= =−1.2
10
Therefore, the probability is the area under 1.2 from the Standard Normal Table;
P ( z←1.2 ) =0.1151
b) Higher than 90
6
Using the given mean and standard deviation, the probability of a score less than 100 is;
P ( x> 90 )=P ( x−μ> 9 0−112 )=P ( x−μ
σ

10 )
90−112

Since the z-score, z=

z= =−2 .2

Therefore, the probability is the area under 2.2 from the Standard Normal Table;
P ( z←2 .2 )=0.9861

Population mean, µ = 96
Population standard deviation, σ = 12
Lower = 56%
Upper = 44%
First, we find the p-values;
0.56 0.44
p 1=0.5− =0.22 , p 2=0.5+ =0.72
2 2
Then, we determine the z scores for the p-values;
z 1=−0.7722 , z 2=−0.5828
Now, we can use the z scores to find their respective raw scores.
