Question

(a) The population 3, 4, 9, 14, and 20 has a mean of 10 and a standard deviation of 6.356. The z-scores for each of the five data values are 

z3 ≈ −1.101,
z4 ≈ −0.944,
z9 ≈ −0.157,
z14 ≈ 0.629,
and z20 ≈ 1.573.

 Find the mean and the standard deviation of these z-scores.

(b) The population 2, 6, 12, 17, 22, and 25 has a mean of 14 and a standard deviation of 8.226. The z-scores for each of the six data values are 

z2 ≈ −1.459,
z6 ≈ −0.973,
z12 ≈ −0.243,
z17 ≈ 0.365,
z22 ≈ 0.973,
and z25 ≈ 1.337.

 Find the mean and the standard deviation of these z-scores.
