Short Answer

Expert verified

In a normal distribution, x=–2and z=6.This tells you that x=–2is 6standard deviations to the right of the mean.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

Given in the question that, In a normal distribution, x=–2andz=6.

We have to fill the blanks with correct answer.

02

Explanation 

A zscore means a numerical size that represents a value's association to the mean of a set of values.

By using the zscore it can be calculate that how many standard deviations, the value of xwill lie below (left) or above (right) the mean of the distribution.

From the information given in the question, we observe that x=–2andz=6.
