  1. 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.

  2. 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

  3. 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

  4. 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
