Step 1 :Given that $X = 30$, $\mu = 44$, and $\sigma = 11$.
Step 2 :We need to calculate the z-value, which is given by the formula $z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$.
Step 3 :Substituting the given values into the formula, we get $z = \frac{30 - 44}{11}$.
Step 4 :Solving the above expression, we get $z = -1.2727272727272727$.
Step 5 :Rounding the z-value to two decimal places, we get $z = -1.27$.
Step 6 :So, the z-value corresponding to $X=30$ is \(\boxed{-1.27}\).
