Question
**Problem Statement:**

A normal distribution has a mean of 58.4 and a standard deviation of 4.45. Find the data value corresponding to \( z = -3.82 \).

The data value is \(\_\).

(Round to the nearest tenth as needed.)

**Instructions:**

Enter your answer in the answer box provided. 

**Explanation:**

To find the data value corresponding to a given z-score, use the formula:

\[ X = \mu + z \cdot \sigma \]

where:
- \( X \) is the data value,
- \( \mu \) is the mean (58.4 in this case),
- \( z \) is the z-score (-3.82),
- \( \sigma \) is the standard deviation (4.45).

Substitute the values into the formula to solve for \( X \), and then round your answer to the nearest tenth.
