Work Step by Step

a) Difference between Jobs' salary and the mean of the CEO salaries: $\$1-\$ 1,449,779=-\$ 1,449,778.$ b)$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{\$1-\$ 1,449,779}{\$527,651}=-2.75.$ Hence Jobs' salary is 2.75 standard deviations from the mean of the CEO's salary. c)$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{\$1-\$ 1,449,779}{\$527,651}=-2.75.$ d) The z-score of Jobs' salary is less than 2, hence it is not usual.
