1.Can you calculate z-scores for each of the raw scores above? If so, please calculate the z-score for a kid who reported spending 8 hours indoors.

2. if you transformed the variable “time spent indoors” from an X-scale to a z-scale, what would be the new mean of the distribution? What would be the new standard deviation? Why might it be useful to transform to a Z-scale?
