When Stephan moved from Illinois to Florida, his average monthly electric bill increased from $83 to $102. He is curious to know whether his IL or FL electric bill is relatively more or less expensive, when compared to the distribution of electric bills for each state. In Illinois, the mean monthly electric bill is $85, with a standard deviation of $3.20. In Florida, the mean monthly electric bill is $105, with a standard deviation of $4.00. Compute the z-scores for Stephan's IL and FL electric bills. Round to three decimal places if necessary.

Using it's formula, it is found that the z-scores are:

In a distribution with mean and standard deviation , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

In Illinois:

Then:

In Florida:

Then:

Due to the lower z-score, the bill is relatively lower in Florida.

The z-scores for Stephan's IL and FL electric bills. are -0.625 and 0.75 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:  Average monthly electric bill in Illinois =  $83

Average monthly electric bill in Florida = $102

Formula of z :

In Illinois, the mean monthly electric bill is $85, with a standard deviation of $3.20.

In Florida, the mean monthly electric bill is $105, with a standard deviation of $4.00.

Hence, the z-scores for Stephan's IL and FL electric bills. are -0.625 and 0.75 respectively.

the answer is d

step-by-step explanation:

y+3=-4(x-2)

y+3=-4x+8
