A basketball player averages 22 point 5 points scored per game with a standard deviation of 6 point 2 points. In one game, the number of points the athlete scored was 1 point 2 standard deviations below the mean. Which of the following is the z -score for the number of points scored?

A score that is 1.2 standard deviations below the mean has a z-score of −1.2. The mean and standard deviation would help find the actual points scored, but the z-score is already given by how far below the mean the score is. Therefore, the correct choice is negative 1 point 2.
