given datas
μ=335
σ=50 X=284 now we have to find Z score
so from the formula the Z score corresponding to observation X=284 is we have Z=Xμσ=28433550=1.02

Z score in statistics is computed with formula: z=(x-μ)/σ In given scenario, x=284, μ=335, σ=50 z= (284-335)/50 = -1.02 Results shows option B is correct.

To find the z-score corresponding to an observation of 284 from a normal distribution with a mean of 335 and a standard deviation of 50, we can use the formula:
z=Xμσ
where:
- z is the z-score
- X is the observed value
- μ is the mean of the distribution
- σ is the standard deviation of the distribution
In this case, we have:
- X=284
- μ=335
- σ=50
Substituting these values into the formula, we get:
z=28433550
Calculating the numerator:
284335=51
Substituting the numerator and the denominator back into the formula, we have:
z=5150
Simplifying the fraction, we get:
z=1.02
Therefore, the z-score corresponding to an observation of 284 is -1.02.

Result:
1.02
Solution:
z=Xμσ where X is the observed value, μ is the mean, and σ is the standard deviation. Substituting the given values into the formula:
z=28433550
Simplifying the equation:
z=5150
Now, let's calculate the numerical value of the z-score:
z1.02
Therefore, the z-score corresponding to an observation of 284 is approximately 1.02.
