3.5
3.25
0.75
0.25

Answer 1

0.25

Explanation:

i took the test

Answer 2

0.25

Step-by-step explanaition:

The z-score represents how many deviations a value is from the mean. When the bar measures 3.25, the z-score is +1. When the bar measures 3.50, the z-score is +2. You'll notice that whenever the bar size increases by 0.25, the z-score goes up +1. So, the standard deviation from the mean must be 0.25.
