Question

A standardized exam's scores are normally distributed. In a recent year, the mean test score was 21.3 and the standard deviation was 5.6.

The test scores of four students selected at random are 13, 23, 8, and 36.

Find the z-scores that correspond to each value and determine whether any of the values are unusual.

The z-score for 13 is _________. round to two decimal places.

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
