A particular group of men have heights with a mean of 184 cm and a standard deviation of 8 cm. Jordan had a height of 187 cm.
a. What is the positive difference between Jordan's height and the mean?
b. How many standard deviations is that [the difference found in part (a)]?
c. Convert Jordan's height to a z score.
d. If we consider "usual" heights to be those that convert to z scores between minus2 and 2, is Jordan's height usual or unusual?
a. The positive difference between Jordan's height and the mean is cm.
b. The difference is standard deviations. (Type an integer or decimal rounded to two decimal places as needed.)
c. The z score is (Type an integer or decimal rounded to two decimal places as needed.)
d. Is Jordan's height usual or unusual?
Explanation / Answer
a) positive difference between Jordan's height and the mean = 187-184 = 3
b) No of standard deviations is that = 3/8 = 0.3750
c) Z score = 0.3750
d) Jordan's height is usual
