- A standardized exam's scores are normally distributed. In a recent year, the mean test score was 21.4 and the standard deviation was 5.3. The lest scores of four students selected at random are 15, 24, 8, and 36. Find the z-scores that correspond to each value and determine whether any of the values are unusual The 2-score for 15 is (Round to two decimal places as needed) The 2-score for 24 is (Round to two decimal places as needed.) The z-score for 8 is (Round to two decimal places as needed) The 2-score for 36 is (Round to two decimal places as needed) Which values, if any, are unusual?
