**Question on Standard Deviations**

If the mean is seven and the standard deviation is two, what value is three standard deviations to the right of the mean?

**Explanation:**

To find a value that is a certain number of standard deviations away from the mean, you use the formula:

\[ \text{Value} = \text{Mean} + (\text{Number of Standard Deviations} \times \text{Standard Deviation}) \]

In this case:
- The mean (\( \mu \)) = 7
- The standard deviation (\( \sigma \)) = 2
- The number of standard deviations = 3

Therefore, the calculation is:

\[ \text{Value} = 7 + (3 \times 2) \]
\[ \text{Value} = 7 + 6 \]
\[ \text{Value} = 13 \]

So, three standard deviations to the right of the mean is 13.
