Answer

to fined Z score , at $x=108$ -->$z=0.4 $ $x=115$ -->$z= 0.75 $ $x=130$ -->$z= 1.5 $ $x=90$ -->$z=-0.5 $ $x=88$ -->$z= -0.6 $ $x=95$ -->$z= -0.25 $ to fined X value at $z=-0.40$ -->$x=92$ $z=-0.50$ -->$x=90$ $z=1.8$ -->$x=136$ $z=-0.75$ -->$x=115$ $z=1.5$ -->$x=130$ $z=-1.25$ -->$x=75$

Work Step by Step

to fined Z score , we use $$ z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} $$ then at $x=108$ -->$z= \frac{108-100}{20} =0.4 $ $x=115$ -->$z= \frac{115-100}{20} =0.75 $ $x=130$ -->$z= \frac{130-100}{20} =1.5 $ $x=90$ -->$z= \frac{90-100}{20} =-0.5 $ $x=88$ -->$z= \frac{88-100}{20} =-0.6 $ $x=95$ -->$z= \frac{95-100}{20} =-0.25 $ to fined X value , we use $$ X=Z \sigma+ \mu $$ then at $z=-0.40$ -->$x=-0.40*20 +100 =92$ $z=-0.50$ -->$x=-0.50*20 +100 =90$ $z=1.8$ -->$x=1.8*20 +100 =136$ $z=-0.75$ -->$x=0.75*20 +100 =115$ $z=1.5$ -->$x=1.5*20 +100 =130$ $z=-1.25$ -->$x=-1.25*20 +100 =75$
