A meteorological office keeps records of the annual precipitation in different cities. For one city, the mean annual precipitation is 34.3 and the standard deviation of the annual precipitation amounts is 4.7. Let x represent the annual precipitation in that city. Determine the z-score for an annual precipitation in that city of 32.3 inches
Round to two decimal places.
A. -0.43
B. 0.8
c. 14.17
D. 0.43

  A. -0.43

Step-by-step explanation:

The z-score is computed from ...

  z = (x -μ)/σ

  z = (32.3 -34.3)/4.7 ≈ -0.4255 ≈ -0.43
