Solution Steps

Step 1: Calculate the Difference

To find the $z$ score for the value $X=9832$ in the distribution, we first calculate the difference from the mean ($\mu=8427$). \[ X - \mu = 9832 - 8427 = 1405 \]

Step 2: Standardize the Difference

Next, we standardize this difference by dividing it by the standard deviation ($\sigma$) of the distribution. \[ z = \frac{(9832 - 8427)}{1858} = \frac{1405}{1858} = 0.756 \]

Final Answer:

The $z$ score for the value $X=9832$ in the distribution, rounded to 2 decimal places, is 0.76. \[ z = 0.76 \]

Step 1: Calculate the Difference

To find the $z$ score for the value $X=12405$ in the distribution, we first calculate the difference from the mean ($\mu=10381$). \[ X - \mu = 12405 - 10381 = 2024 \]

Step 2: Standardize the Difference

Next, we standardize this difference by dividing it by the standard deviation ($\sigma$) of the distribution. \[ z = \frac{(12405 - 10381)}{2117} = \frac{2024}{2117} = 0.956 \]

Final Answer:

The $z$ score for the value $X=12405$ in the distribution, rounded to 2 decimal places, is 0.96. \[ z = 0.96 \]
