Question

What is the standard deviation of a normal distribution, whose mean is 35, in which an x-value of 23 has a z-score of -1.63?

can somebody please explain to me the process in finding this answer?

Answer 1

Answer:

7.36

Step-by-step explanation:

z-score is:

z = (x − μ) / σ

Given that z = -1.63, x = 23, and μ = 35:

-1.63 = (23 − 35) / σ

σ ≈ 7.36
