Explanation / Answer

Back-up Theory

If x is the raw value with mean µ and standard deviation , then the corresponding z-score =

(x - µ)/.

Now, to answer the given question, we have

(193 - µ)/ = 2.66 or

(193 - µ) = 2.66 or

193 = µ + 2.66

=> 193 = 2.66 above µ.

i.e., the player’s height is 2.66 standard deviation above mean ANSWER
