Best to use a histogram i think! z scores can probably be used too however they seem more a method of how to transform outliers in workable scores.

How do you use the z-score to determine a normal curve?

If the Z-Score corresponds to the standard deviation, then the distribution is "normal", or Gaussian.


Why are z-scores used to check for outliers?

If a variable is Normally distributed then the z-score describes how far from the mean/median a particular observation is. For example, a z score of 1.96 implies that fewer than 0.025% of the observations will be at least that extreme.


What is the z score for a raw score of 70?

There is not enough information to answer your question. To determine a Z-Score, the mean and standard deviation are also required.


How do you find a z-score?

Z Score is (x-mu)/sigma. The Z-Score allows you to go to a standard normal distribution chart and to determine probabilities or numerical values.

What the z-score of a person with a raw score of 20?

There is not enough information to answer your question. To determine a Z-Score, the mean and standard deviation is also required.


How do you do an Outlier test?

To conduct an outlier test, you can use statistical methods such as the Z-score or the interquartile range (IQR). For the Z-score method, calculate the Z-score for each data point, which measures how many standard deviations a point is from the mean; values typically greater than 3 or less than -3 are considered outliers. Alternatively, with the IQR method, find the first (Q1) and third quartiles (Q3) to calculate the IQR (Q3 - Q1), and identify outliers as points that fall below Q1 - 1.5 * IQR or above Q3 + 1.5 * IQR.


What z-score corresponds to this value?

There is insufficient information in the question to answer it. To determine Z score, you need raw score, mean, and standard deviation. Please restate the question.


How do you determine your sample score on the comparison distribution?

To determine your sample score on the comparison distribution, you first need to calculate the sample mean and standard deviation. Then, you can use these statistics to find the z-score, which indicates how many standard deviations your sample mean is from the population mean. By comparing this z-score to critical values from the standard normal distribution, you can assess the significance of your sample score in relation to the comparison distribution.


Can a negative z score be greater than a positive z score?

Assume the z-score is relative to zero score. In simple terms, assume that we have 0 < z < z0, where z0 is the arbitrary value. Then, a negative z-score can be greater than a positive z-score (yes). How? Determine the probability of P(-2 < z < 0) and P(0 < z < 1). Then, by checking the z-value table, you should get: P(-2 < z < 0) ≈ 0.47725 P(0 < z < 1) ≈ 0.341345


Calculate the z-score for a test score of 87 if the mean test score is 81.1 and standrd deviation is 11.06?

z score = (test score - mean score)/SD z score = (87-81.1)/11.06z score = 5.9/11.06z score = .533You can use a z-score chart to calculate the probability from there.


Is the Z-test the same as Z-scores?

No, the Z-test is not the same as a Z-score. The Z-test is where you take the Z-score and compare it to a critical value to determine if the null hypothesis will be rejected or fail to be rejected.
