a runner's time for a race was transformed to a z-value, which is negative. Therefore, we know that the runner's time is
A. The worst result for the race
B. below the mean
C. above the mean
D. more information is needed
Homework Answers
Answer #1
[ explanation:-
option A is false because,
from the information provided, we can not say that he is worst..may be there is some runner who has z score less than him.
option B is true because,
a negative Z score indicates that the value is below the mean.
option C is false because,
a positive z score indicates that the value is above the mean, but in question it is mentioned that the z score for his race time is negative. ]
