Find z score for normal distribution for 60th percentile?
it doesn't exist.
Does a negative z score always yield a negative percentile?
A percentile is always between 0% and 100%, never negative.
What does it mean if the Z score of a test is equal to 0?
If the Z Score of a test is equal to zero then the raw score of the test is equal to the mean. Z Score = (Raw Score - Mean Score) / Standard Deviation
What is the Difference between z scores and percentile ranks?
First let's define both, that will help to see the difference.1.A percentile is a measure that lets us know what percent of the total frequency scored below that measure. A percentile rank is the percentage of scores that fall below a given score. Here is how that works.Given a score, call it S and a total of n scores we are looking at, we find the number of scores below S and divide that by n. Next multiply that by 100 and you have the percentile rank.Now a z score is the number of standard deviations from the mean.Say the mean is M and your score is S as above. Let sigma be the standard deviation of the distribution. Then z=(S-M)/sigma.So let's say the mean M is 100 and sigma is 15. S is 132, you did better than average!So z=(132-100)/15=2.13If 60 percent of the people scored less than you, then you are in the 60th percentile.Furthermore, lets say, there were 100 people taking test, then 60 of them scored less than you. Your percentile ranking is (60/100)x100=60So both are measures of where your results falls in a distribution. z scores are often used for probability of a certain result. Percentile ranks are often used in looking at standardized test results or growth data. One can convert from one to the other.I have given a conversion table link belowhttp://www.acposb.on.ca/conversion.htm
What does a negative z-score mean?
z-score of a value=(that value minus the mean)/(standard deviation). So if a value has a negative z-score, then it is below the mean.
What z score represents the 90 th percentile?
z = 1.281551
What z-score represents the 99th percentile?
2.326
What z score represents the 10th percentile?
It is -1.281551
A z-score of -1.0 represents a percentile rank of roughly?
between 15 and 20.
What is the percentile if a z- score is 0.62?
77th percentile.
What is the nearest percentile associated with the z-score 0.68?
75th percentile.
What is the z score that corresponds to the 5th percentile?
z = -1.644853 (approx).
What is the formula to convert a z score into a percentile rank?
You need to look up z-score tables.
What percentile rank would represent a person with a z score of 3?
The top percentile (> 99.86%)
Find z score for normal distribution for 70 percentile?
z = 0.5244, approx.
Find z score for normal distribution for 60th percentile?

Does a negative z score always yield a negative percentile?
A percentile is always between 0% and 100%, never negative.
