5. What observed height would have a z-score of zero?
A) 65
B) 69
C) 73
D) 0
Feedback: For a z-score of 0 we would find the observed height using the equation: observed equals z-score times SD plus mean. A z-score 0 times 4 would be 0, and adding this to a mean of 69 would simply be 69. Or, if you recall that z-scores represent the number of standard deviations an observed score is from the mean then a z-score of 0 would mean the observation was zero standard deviations from the mean thus the observed value would be the mean.
