The accompanying data represent the miles per gallon of a random sample of cars with a three-cylinder, 1.0 liter engine. (a) compute the z-score corresponding to the individual who obtained 42.342.3 miles per gallon. interpret this result.

The z- score corresponding to the individual who obtained 42.3 miles per gallon is 0.9474 which indicates that it is 0.9474 standard deviations below the mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the data set attached below;

Let consider that the random  variable X as the miles per gallon driven by cars with a three cylinders, 1.0 liter engine.

The mean of the data set can then be calculated as :

    =

    = 38.88

The standard deviation is calculated by the formula:

   =

   =  3.61

The z score corresponding to the value x = 42.3 can be calculated as:

z = 0.9474

The z- score corresponding to the individual who obtained 42.3 miles per gallon is 0.9474 which indicates that it is 0.9474 standard deviations below the mean.

based on context clues you gave i'm assuming the answer would be c.
