2. Suppose the students in a particular high school class receive the
following scores on the SAT math exam.
{ 510, 480, 630, 600, 585, 710, 540, 640, 630, 565, 585, 610, 730, 490 }
(a) Find the sample mean , variance, standard deviation of the scores.
(b) Find the z-score for the student who scored 640.
(c) Is there a score the results in a z-score of 0.50?

a) Mean
=480+490+510+540+565+585+585+600+610+630+630+640+
710+730/ 14 = 593.21
Standard Deviation =
s= √∑(xi-μ)^2/N
s=√[(510-593.21)^2/14]+…+ [(490-593.21)^2/14]
s=√5517.719874.28
s=74.3
Variance = s^2= 5517.72
b) z-score = (score – mean)/standard deviation
z-score = (640-593.21)/74.3 = 0.63
c) z-score = (630-593.21)/74.3 = 0.50
