What else can I help you with?
How can you convert standard scores to percentiles?
You need to use a table of standard scores.
How many of the 100 scores are expected to be below 32.38 (two standard deviations above the mean)?
In a normal distribution, approximately 95% of the scores fall within two standard deviations of the mean. This means that about 5% of the scores will be below two standard deviations above the mean. Therefore, if you have 100 scores, you can expect around 5 scores to be below 32.38.
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.
What is another term for z scores?
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.
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
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.
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 the standard deviation of 10 scores is 0?
If the standard deviation of 10 scores is zero, then all scores are the same.
How can you convert standard scores to percentiles?
You need to use a table of standard scores.
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.
How many of the 100 scores are expected to be below 32.38 (two standard deviations above the mean)?
In a normal distribution, approximately 95% of the scores fall within two standard deviations of the mean. This means that about 5% of the scores will be below two standard deviations above the mean. Therefore, if you have 100 scores, you can expect around 5 scores to be below 32.38.

The following frequency distribution analyzes the scores on a math test. Find the class midpoint of scores interval 40 and ndash59.?
49.0
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.
What is another term for z scores?
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.
