Question

At the Byrne farm there used to be a horseshoe pit on the property. One year they measured the distances of some throws. Here is a sample of the data that are expected to follow a normal distribution.

Distance (m)
12.3	13.9
12.5	15.2
11.7	13.1
10.6	12.0
13.5	12.2

What is the z-score for a distance of 13.6m

** Answer 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.
