i just responded to the other post ....

OpenStudy (amistre64):

you are most likely trying to relate this to the empirical rule; so define the z score associated with 390 given that the mean is 455 and the sd is 65

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you said (390-455)/65?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

since 390 is less then 490; the answer cannot possibly be less than 50

OpenStudy (amistre64):

yes\[z=\frac{x-mean}{sd}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so B and C cannot be the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 383..

OpenStudy (amistre64):

- 455 390 ------ - 65 -65/67 = -1

OpenStudy (amistre64):

...these fat fingers of mine ....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im so confused now lol

OpenStudy (amistre64):

this is exactly the other question .. we want 50 + 68/2 by the same concepts

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i think i misread some of the question tho

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk am i suppose to add or subtract

OpenStudy (amistre64):

50 - 68/2 is better i was reading one little bit of information off

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so -9? lol
