Answer: 2.66 standard deviations above the mean
Explanation:
The z score directly determines how far we are from the mean. For positive z values, we are above the mean, while negative z values are below the mean.
The mean itself is z = 0
The absolute value of the z score is the distance from the score to 0. So having a z score of z = 2.66 means we are 2.66 standard deviations above the mean. Something like z = -2 means we are 2 standard deviations below the mean.
