Expert Solution
Step 1

Given Information:

μ=50.6

σ=98.9

(a) To get the z-score for a value of 44:

Z-score is a measure which tells how many standard deviations away a data value is, from the mean. It is given by the formula:

Z=X-μσ

where, X is the Raw score

            μ is the mean 

            σ is the standard deviation.

Substitute the given values in the formula:

Z=44-50.698.9=-6.698.9=-0.0667341-0.07

Thus, z-score for a value of 44 is -0.07
