You need to use a table of standard scores.
To convert your 1979 ACT score to percentile scores, you can reference historical data from the ACT organization, which provides percentile ranks for various scores. You may need to find a specific ACT score percentile table from that year, as percentiles can change annually based on the performance of test-takers. Alternatively, tools or resources that aggregate historical ACT data can help you identify the corresponding percentile for your score. If you cannot find specific data from 1979, you might consider using more recent percentile data as a general guide, keeping in mind that it may not be perfectly accurate for that year.
Another term for z-scores is standard scores. Z-scores indicate how many standard deviations a data point is from the mean of its distribution, allowing for comparison between different datasets. They are commonly used in statistics to standardize scores and facilitate further analysis.
Convert 7.9 million into standard value
68% of the scores are within 1 standard deviation of the mean -80, 120 95% of the scores are within 2 standard deviations of the mean -60, 140 99.7% of the scores are within 3 standard deviations of the mean -40, 180
In a normal distribution, approximately 68% of scores fall within one standard deviation of the mean (between -1 and +1 standard deviations). About 95% of scores fall within two standard deviations (between -2 and +2 standard deviations). Therefore, the percentage of scores that falls specifically between the mean and -2 to 2 standard deviations is about 95% minus the 50% that is below the mean, resulting in approximately 45%.
Your question can not be answered. A tally of all scores in the class is necessary. These are then ranked (lowest to highest), and the percentiles identified. For more information, I suggest you look at percentiles under wikipedia.
If the standard deviation of 10 scores is zero, then all scores are the same.
Standard error, standard deviation, variance, range, inter-quartile range as well as measures based on other percentiles.
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.
In a criterion-referenced test, percentages are calculated based on mastery of specific content or skills against a predetermined standard or criteria. On the other hand, percentiles in a norm-referenced test indicate a test taker's rank compared to a specific group of test takers, showing the percentage of scores that are equal to or below a particular score.
you multiply it by 10
The 25-75th percentiles of the ACT are from 24-29, so a middle 20 range or onwards should be pretty safe for admission.
All the scores are equal
If it is possible to assume normality, simply convert the desired score to a z-score, and look up the probability for that.
