• 5.2

• 23.46

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

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

How to transform z-scores to X values for sample?

• X=μ+zσ

• X=M+zs

• μ=X+zσ

• σ(z)-M=s

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

• True

• False

• +2.00

• -2.00

• +1.25

• -1.00
