Z Score Practice

What is the purpose of z-scores?

• to describe the exact location of a score within a distribution

• to find the mean of the distribution

• to describe the shape of the distribution

• to find the standard deviation of the distribution

The sign of the z-score indicates whether the location is above(positive) or below(negative) the mean.

• True

• False

What is the formula to find the z-score for population?

• z=X-M

• z=σ-M/μ

• ^z/M=μ

• z=X-μ/σ

What does it mean to have a z-score of  $z=0$  on a quiz?

• It means you did better than zero people.

• It means you scored the same grade as the average grade.

• It means you earned a zero on the quiz.

• It means the average score was a zero.
