Do you know how to find the z-scores for 450 and 600?

anonymous · Answer

No i find it confusing .

kropot72 · Answer

The formula to find the z-score is as follows
$$z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$$
where X is the reference value (either 450 or 600 in this case), mu is the population average and sigma is the standard deviation.
