A group of nine college students were asked how many hours they slept the previous night. The number of hours they slept are:      7     6     7.25     8.5     5      7      6.75     6    9 [a].  Find the mean.  Round to two decimal places. [b].  Find the median.  Round to two decimal places.    [c].  The standard deviation of the hours slept is 1.24 hours. What is the z-score for the student who slept 7 hours?  Round to two decimal places.
