need help

OpenStudy (phi):

can you do part a?

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

i did attempt, and got a answer in the 40k area so i dont think so

OpenStudy (phi):

the mean is 47 (ignore the 1000s) the std is 4 how "far" is 40 from 47 ? now many standard deviations is that ?

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

47-40 is 7

OpenStudy (phi):

ok, and because 40 is "below" the 47, we do: 40 - 47 = -7 (we always do number - mean) next, how many "standard deviations" is -7 ? divide -7 by the standard deviation. what do you get ?

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

what did you get? I got a decimal

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

i got exactly -1.75

OpenStudy (phi):

yes, if you draw a bell curve, you have this situation |dw:1461954751844:dw|
