Adult men have heights with a mean of 69.0 inches and a standard deviation of 2.8 inches. Find the height of a man with a z-score of 2.1071 (to 4 decimal places)

Answer 1

We will be using the formula for the standardized z score

z = (x - mean)/SD, where x is the height, mean = 69 and SD = 2.8

to find x corresponding to z-score of 2.1071, substitute that value for z in the above equation, along with given mean and SD, then solve for x.
