How can you convert standard scores to percentiles?
You need to use a table of standard scores.
Compare and contrast the functions of z-scores t-scores and percentile ranks?
Z-scores, t-scores, and percentile ranks are all statistical tools used to understand and interpret data distributions. Z-scores indicate how many standard deviations a data point is from the mean, allowing for comparison across different datasets. T-scores, similar in function to z-scores, are often used in smaller sample sizes and have a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10, facilitating easier interpretation. Percentile ranks, on the other hand, express the relative standing of a score within a distribution, showing the percentage of scores that fall below a particular value, thus providing a different type of comparison.
Assume that aset of test scores is normally distributed with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 20 use the 68-95-99?
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
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)].
If a test score of 83 was transformed into a standard score of -1.5 and the standard deviation of the scores was 4 what is the mean?
78
Why in a normal distribution the distribution will be less spread out when the standard diviation of the raw scores is small?
The standard deviation (SD) is a measure of spread so small sd = small spread. So the above is true for any distribution, not just the Normal.
How can you convert standard scores to percentiles?
You need to use a table of standard scores.
If the standard deviation of 10 scores is 0?
If the standard deviation of 10 scores is zero, then all scores are the same.
Will increasing the frequency of scores in the tails of a distribution effect the standard deviation How or Why?
Yes. It will increase the standard deviation. You are increasing the number of events that are further away from the mean, and the standard deviation is a measure of how far away the events are from the mean.
If standard deviation of 10 scores is 0?
All the scores are equal
What is simple frequency distribution?
Simple frequency distribution is a method of organizing large data sets into more easily interpreted sets. An example is organizing sample test scores by the individual scores.
Compare and contrast the functions of z-scores t-scores and percentile ranks?
Z-scores, t-scores, and percentile ranks are all statistical tools used to understand and interpret data distributions. Z-scores indicate how many standard deviations a data point is from the mean, allowing for comparison across different datasets.

Under what circumstances should you use a grouped frequency distribution instead of a regular frequency distibution?
You should use a grouped frequency when you have a wide range of scores.
The following frequency distribution analyzes the scores on a math test. Find the class midpoint of scores interval 40 and ndash59.?
49.0
Assume that aset of test scores is normally distributed with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 20 use the 68-95-99?
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
Where is NEO-PI-R raw scores converted to standard scores?
After collecting raw scores you can calculate the t scores by simple using the formulas given on page 8 of the professional manual by Costa and McCrae 1992. If you do not have access to the manual google the these formulas.
What is a negative frequency distribution?
If most the population has many high scores, the distribution is negatively skewed. If most have many low scores, it is positively skewed
