Answer to Question #163727 in Statistics and Probability for Amanda

Question

A population has a mean of 100 and equals 20. Given this info, what value would be 1.5 standard deviations above the mean?

Answer 1

We have that

$\mu = 100$

$\sigma=20$

The value 1.5 standard deviations above the mean:

$\mu +1.5\cdot \sigma = 100+1.5\cdot 20 = 130$

Answer: 130
