Answer:

The person drinks a mean of 64 ounces a day

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate this, we will need to use the z-score formula.

Mathematically;

z-score = (x - mean)/SD

Here, x = 88 ounces , mean = ?, z-score = 1.6 and SD = 15 ounces

We plug these values into the equation

1.6 = (88- mean)/15

15 * 1.6 = 88 - mean

24 = 88 - mean

mean = 88 - 24

mean = 64 ounces
