- Woodland and Clear Beach are schools in different states. Alan is a student at Woodland and is 56 inches tall. Goran is a student at Clear Beach and is 45 inches tall. The heights of students at Woodland have a population mean of 65.2 inches and a standard deviation of 4.1 inches. The heights of students at Clear Beach have a population mean of 59.5 inches with a standard deviation of 4.9 inches. For each school, the distribution of the heights of students is clearly bell-shaped. (a) Find the z-scores of Alan's height as a student at Woodland and Goran's height as a student at Clear Beach.
