Use the following information to determine your answers: The typical amount of sleep per night that adults get has a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 7.5 hours and a standard deviation of 1.3 hours. Suppose last night you slept for 5 hours. How many standard deviations are you from the mean? Please round to the second decimal point.

We have been given that the typical amount of sleep per night that adults get has a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 7.5 hours and a standard deviation of 1.3 hours. Suppose last night you slept for 5 hours.

We will use z-score formula to solve our given problem as z-score tells a data point is how many standard deviation from the mean.

, where,

z = z-score,

x = Random sample score,

= Mean,

= Standard deviation.

Upon substituting our given values in z-score formula, we will get:

Upon rounding to two decimal places, we will get:

Therefore, you are standard deviations from the mean or 1.92 standard deviation below mean.
