Solution: We have z score = 3.74.
It means, a basketball player's height is 3.74 standard deviation's above the mean.
Z score tells us how many standard deviations below or above the population mean a raw score is. For example if z score = -2, it means the raw score is 2 standard deviations below the mean value. If z score = 2, it means the raw score is 2 standard deviations above the mean value.
Hence the basketball player's height (201 cm) is 3.74 standard deviation's above the mean.
