17
Q

usually sufficient to complete most z-score transformations

A

Z-score

18
Q

composed of scores that have been transformed ot create predetermined values for u and o. Also used ot make dissimilar distributions comparable.

A

standardized distribution

19
Q

a method for measuring and quantifying the likelihood of obtaining a specific sample from a specific population

A

Probability

20
Q

When a score is referred to by its rank, the score is called a

A

Percentile

21
Q

a. z<0.25
b. Z>0.80
c. Z<-1.50
d. D. z>-0.75

P= 0.5987

0.0668
0.7734

22
Q

Separate the top 20% from the rest

A

Z= 0.84

23
Q

natural discrepancy, or the amount of error, between a sample statistic and its corresponding population
parameter

A

Sampling error

24
Q

standard deviation of the distribution of sample means

A

Standard error of M

25
Q

The deviation of a value (x) from the mean of the sample divided by the standard deviation (s)of the sample is known as the “z” value or z-score.
True
False

A

True

26
Q

A z-score of 1.0 corresponds to a value one standard deviation from the mean.
True
False

A

True

27
Q

Since the normal curve is not symmetrical the area corresponding to a z-score of +1.0 will be different from that corresponding to -1.0.

A

False

28
Q

A home business has an average income of $900.00 per month with a standard deviation of $15.00. If the income in a given month is $930.00, what
-score corresponds to this value?

A

2.0

29
Q

Another home business has an average income of $1,200.00 per month with a standard deviation of $100.00. If the income in a given month is $1,030.00, what
-score corresponds to this value?

A

-1.7

Q

Clyde Cement wants to analyze a shipment of bags of cement. He knows the weight of the bags is normally distributed so he can use the standard normal distribution. He measures the weight of 600 randomly selected bags in the shipment. Next, he calculates the mean and standard deviation of their weights. The mean is 50 lbs. and the standard deviation is 1.5 lbs.
What percentage of the bags of cement will weigh less than 50 lbs.?

A

50

31
Q

Equation in z-score

A

z = (x-m)/s
z = (deviation/standard deviation)

32
Q

What is the mean and SD of Standard Scores?

A

Mean 100 SD 15

33
Q

Scores deviate from the mean in a predictable way. Most scores occur around the mean, fewer scores occur far from the mean

A

Normal distribution

34
Q

For a sample with M = 60 and s = 8, what is the 7-score corresponding to X = 62?

A

0.25

35
Q

Using z-scores, a population with u = 3/ and o
= 6 is standardized so that the new mean is u=
50 and o = 10. How does an individual’s z-score
in the new distribu[1]tion compare with his/her z-score in the
original population?

A

New z = old z

36
Q

A distribution with u = 35 and o = 8 is being
standardized so that the new mean and standard
deviation will be u = 50 and o =
10. In the new, standardized distribution your score is
X = 60. What was your
score in the original distribution?

A

X= 45
