Question

Using fluorescent imaging techniques, researchers observed that the position of binding sites on HIV peptides is approximately Normally distributed with a mean of 2.45 microns and a standard deviation of 0.35 micron. What is the standardized score for a binding site position of 2.03 microns? (Enter your answer rounded to one decimal place.)

Answer 1

It is observed that the position of binding sites on HIV peptides is approximately Normally distributed with a mean of and a standard deviation of . The standardized score for a binding site position of is found as follows,

Z-score (standardized score) is
