Question 1 of 30
In a corporate network, a security analyst is tasked with implementing traffic profiling to identify anomalous behavior. The analyst collects data over a period of one week, measuring the average bandwidth usage of various applications. The results show that the average bandwidth for a specific application is 200 Mbps with a standard deviation of 50 Mbps. During the next week, the analyst observes a spike in bandwidth usage reaching 350 Mbps. To determine if this spike is statistically significant, the analyst decides to calculate the z-score for the observed value. What is the z-score for the observed bandwidth usage of 350 Mbps, and what does it indicate about the anomaly?
3.0, indicating a significant anomaly
2.0, suggesting a moderate anomaly
1.5, indicating a minor anomaly
4.0, suggesting an extreme anomaly
