The weight of 824 pounds of a polar bear has a z-score of -1.50.

The z score is used to determine by how many standard deviations the raw score is above or below the mean. The z score is given by:

[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} \\\\where\ x=raw\ score,\mu=mean,\sigma=standard\ deviation[/tex]

Given that μ = 950, σ = 84

For z = -1.50:

[tex]-1.50=\frac{x-950}{84}\\\\x-950=-126\\\\x=824[/tex]

The weight of 824 pounds of a polar bear has a z-score of -1.50.
