Explanation / Answer

Mean = 38 , standard deviation = 5

After transforming in standardized distribution ,

new mean = 50 , new standard deviation = 10

Using new mean and new standard deviation for calculating standardized score for transformed x.

X = 39 Z = ( x - 50 ) / 10 = (39-50) / 10 = -1.1

X = 43 Z = ( x - 50 ) / 10 = (43-50) / 10 = -0.7

X = 35 Z = ( x - 50 ) / 10 = (35-50) / 10 = -1.5

X = 28 Z = ( x - 50 ) / 10 = (28-50) / 10 = -2.2
