A normal distribution has mean 50 and standard deviation 6. Which value carries a z-score of negative 1.5?

1. Rearranged, the value equals the mean plus the z-score times the standard deviation. 2. Here that is 50 plus negative 1.5 times 6. 3. Negative 1.5 times 6 is negative 9. 4. So the value is 50 minus 9, which is 41. 5. Answering 59 adds the 9 instead of subtracting it and lands above the mean. _Source: OpenStax High School Statistics (CC BY 4.0), Ch 6 "The Normal Distribution", section 6.1 The Standard Normal Distribution_
