Explanation:
Since his average z-score is 1.6 standard deviations above the class mean, the teacher has to convert that score into a number of points above the mean.
First, the teacher can multiply the standardized score by the standard deviation to find how many points above/below the mean, his score will be:
1.6*4=6.4
Then, add this number to the mean to find his score:
18+6.4=24.4
The teacher will give Alfred a score of 24.4.
