Third option is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Mean [tex](\mu)=15[/tex]
Standard deviation [tex]\sigma=4[/tex]
Mean (X) = 25
We need to find the "Number of standard deviations (Z) from the mean (X) ":
As we know that in Normal distribution:
[tex]Z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\Z=\frac{25-15}{4}\\\\Z=\frac{10}{4}\\\\Z=2.5[/tex]
Hence, Third option is correct.
This is the concept of probability, to get the number of standard deviations that 25 is from the mean, we calculate the z-score given by:
Z=(X-mean)/s.d
where;
x=25
mean=15
s.d=4
hence;
z=(25-15)/4=2.5
The answer is 2.5
So the difference from the mean and the value is:
25 - 15 = 10
and now we need to know how many standard deviations of 4 are in that range, that is:
10/4 = 2.5
so there are 2.5 std deviations from the mean if the value is 25
2.5 standard deviations
Step-by-step explanation:
The difference from the mean and the value is:
25 - 15 = 10
how many standard deviations of 4 are in that range:
10/4 = 2.5
There are 2.5 std deviations from the mean if the value is 25
Z=[tex]\frac{25-15}{4}[/tex]=2.5 This is in standardized units, or z-score.
