A basketball player averages 22.5 points scored per game with a standard deviation of 6.2 points. In one game, the athlete scored 10 points. What is the z-score for the points scored in this game?

Use the z-score formula: z = (score − mean) ÷ standard deviation. Substituting the values gives z = (10 − 22.5) ÷ 6.2 = −12.5 ÷ 6.2 ≈ −2.02. The correct choice is –2.02.
