The table on the right shows last initials of basketball players and the number of games played by each. Find the z-score for player F's
games played.
What is player F's
z-score?
Player | Games Played |
A | 71 |
B | 81 |
C | 75 |
D | 77 |
E | 72 |
F | 82 |
G | 73 |
H | 79 |
J | 71 |
K | 82 |
First calculate mean and variance
Mean = = x/n = (71+81+75+77+72+82+73+79+71+82) /10
= 763/10
=76.3
Variance=2 = (x-x_bar) 2/n
= (71-76.3)2+(81-76.3)2+(75-76.3)2+(77-76.3)2+(72-76.3)2+(82-76.3)2+(73-76.3)2+(79-76.3)2 +(71-76.3)2+(82-76.3)2/10
=(28.09+22.09+1.69+0.49+18.49+32.49+10.89+7.29+28.09+32.49) /10
=18.21
= 2 = 18.21= 4.27
Now calculate Z score for F
Z = x-/
= 82-76.3/4.27
z = 1.33
Hence z score for F is 1.33.
