A set of 50 data values has a mean of 15 and a variance of 36.

Find the standard score of a data value = 18 Answer Let the mean, the standard deviation and Z, the standard score of the data. It is given that = 15 and =(variance)= 36=6. Then the standard score Z is defined as (X ) Z= The standardized score measures a data value is how many standard deviations from the mean. Here it is given that X = 18 Therefore, the standard score of a data value for 18 is Z = (18-15)/6 = 3/6 = 0.5
