5. Each year, a national achievement test is administered to 3rd graders. The test has a mean score of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. If Jane's z-score is 1.20, what was her score on the test?

118

1.2=(score on the test - 100)/15

To find Jane's score on the test, we need to use the z-score formula:

z = (x - μ) / σ

Here, z is the z-score, x is the value we want to find (Jane's score), μ is the mean score, and σ is the standard deviation.

Given that Jane's z-score is 1.20, we can plug in the values:

1.20 = (x - 100) / 15

To solve for x (Jane's score), we can rearrange the equation:

1.20 * 15 = x - 100

18 = x - 100

x = 18 + 100

x = 118

Therefore, Jane's score on the test was 118.
