The GRE quantitative reasoning scores have a mean of 600 and a standard deviation of 120. Taylor takes the GMAT quantitative reasoning test and scores 294. GMAT quantitative reasoning scores have a mean of 225 and a standard deviation of 61. Calculate the z-score for Tony's GRE quantitative reasoning score. Give your answer to 4 decimal places.

Step-by-step explanation:

Z - score

In a set with mean and standard deviation , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Calculate the z-score for Tony's GRE quantitative reasoning score.

This is Z when
