Answer to Problem 91E

Individual from Indiana has a higher income, relative to others in his or her state.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

For Indiana:

Value, x=$95,000

Mean, μ=$47,400

Standard deviation, σ=$29,400

For New Jersey:

Value, x=$95,000

Mean, μ=$58,100

Standard deviation, σ=$41,900

For Indiana:

Calculate the z − score:

  z=xμσ=95,00047,40029,400=47,60029,4001.62

For New Jersey:

Calculate the z − score:

  z=xμσ=95,00058,10041,900=36,90041,9000.88

Compare the z − scores:

The comparison of z − scores depicts that individual with higher z − score has a higher income, relative to others in his or her state.

Thus,

Individual from Indiana has a higher income, relative to others in his or her state.
