Question

Renee scores an average of 153 points in a game of bowling, and her points in a game of bowling are normally distributed. Suppose Renee scores 175 points in a game, and this value has a z-score of 2. What is the standard deviation? Do not include the units in your answer. For example, if you found that the standard deviation was 15 points, you would enter 15.

Provide your answer below:

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.
