In a normal distribution, a data value located 1.2 standard deviations below the mean has Standard Score: \( \mathrm{z}=\square \)

A variable \( x \) is normally distributed with mean 22 and standard deviation 3. Round your answers to the nearest hundredth as needed. a) Determine the \( z \)-score for \( x=27 \). b) Determine the \( z \)-score for \( x=20 \). c) What value of \( x \) has a \( z \)-score of 2.33 ? d) What value of \( x \) has a \( z \)-score of -0.3 ? \( x= \) e) What value of \( x \) has a \( z \)-score of 0 ?

University researchers published a working paper. One of the objectives of the study was to determine whether ride-share drivers actually make a profit. Data collected from a sample of 1,126 ride-share drivers yielded a mean monthly profit \( \bar{x}=\$ 661 \) with standard deviation \( s=\$ 581 \). A ride-share company executive reports that \( \mu \), the true mean monthly profit of all its rideshare drivers, is \( \$ 1,000 \). Use \( \alpha=0.01 \) to test the executive's figure. Complete parts a through e below. b. Find the rejection region for the test. Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer box(es) within your choice. (Round to two decimal places as needed.) A. \( z \) < \( z>\square \) C. \( z<\square \) or \( z>\square \)
