Isabella's points per game of bowling are normally distributed with a standard deviation of 8 points. If Isabella scores 148 points, and the z-score of this value is 3, then what is her mean points in a game? Do not include the units in your answer. For example, if you found that the mean is 150 points, you would enter 150. Provide your answer below:
