The distribution of ACT scores in recent years has been roughly normal with mean 20.9 and standard deviation 4.4 The quartiles of any distribution are the values with cumulative proportions 0.25 and?

17.7 and 20.9


What is the standard deviation for Woodcock-Johnson III Tests of achievement?

The standard deviation for the Woodcock-Johnson III Tests of Achievement is typically set at 15. This is consistent with many standardized tests, which use a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15 to represent scores on a normal distribution. This allows for the interpretation of individual test scores in relation to the broader population.


When the normal curve is plotted according to standard deviation units each having a value of 1.00 what is it called?

When the normal curve is plotted using standard deviation units, each with a value of 1.00, it is referred to as the standard normal distribution. In this distribution, the mean is 0 and the standard deviation is 1, allowing for easy comparison of different data sets by transforming them into z-scores. The standard normal distribution is often represented by the symbol Z.


What is the mean and standard deviation of a distribution of T-scores?

The answer depends on the degrees of freedom (df). If the df > 1 then the mean is 0, and the standard deviation, for df > 2, is sqrt[df/(df - 2)].


What role do z scores play in this transformation of data from multiple distributions to standard normal distribution?

Z-scores standardize data from various distributions by transforming individual data points into a common scale based on their mean and standard deviation. This process involves subtracting the mean from each data point and dividing by the standard deviation, resulting in a distribution with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1. This transformation enables comparisons across different datasets by converting them to the standard normal distribution, facilitating statistical analysis and interpretation.

What is the difference between z-score and t-score?

T-scores and z-scores measure the deviation from normal. The normal for T-score is 50 with standard deviation of 10. if the score on t-score is more than 50, it means that the person scored above normal (average), and vise versa. The normal for Z-score is 0. If Z-score is above 0, then it means that person scored above normal (average), and vise versa.

What role do z-scores play in the transformation of data from multiple distributions to the standard normal distribution?

None.z-scores are linear transformations that are used to convert an "ordinary" Normal variable - with mean, m, and standard deviation, s, to a normal variable with mean = 0 and st dev = 1 : the Standard Normal distribution.


Is the different between an individual score and mean of the group of scores is called deviation?

No, it is called the absolute deviation.


How do you find the semi-interquartile range with only the mean and standard deviation?

In general, you cannot. If the distribution can be assumed to be Gaussian [Normal] then you could use z-scores.


How much is 84 percentile equals mean plus 1 standard deviation or mean plus 1.4 standard deviation. Can you give me reference also please?

The cumulative probability up to the mean plus 1 standard deviation for a Normal distribution - not any distribution - is 84%. The reference is any table (or on-line version) of z-scores for the standard normal distribution.
