Need help with psych stats question solved equation already but wording is weird.

Question

Hi I need assistance with the following question: 4.) According to your Z score and your friend's Z score, who has more kids relative to your group?

Not really sure what is being asked here- my score is 5 with a score average (mean) of 1.75. The standard deviation is 1.44. My z score is 2.26

Friend scored a 5 with an average in his class being 3. The SD is 1.5 and his z score is 1.33

Wondering what the question is asking for its confusing me when it comes to "relative to your group" thanks

Answer 1

A Z score is just how far left of right of the "average" you are. The bigger the number, the more away from the center you are. So, if I wanted to know who has more kids, the person who has the biggest z score would be the one who did.
