Question

Suppose you have a normally distributed set of data pertaining to a standardized test. The mean

score is 500 and the standard deviation is 100. What is the z-score of 800 point score?

Answer 1

The formula to find the z score in a normally distributed set of data is: z = (x - ÎĽ) / Ď With ÎĽ being the mean, Ď being the standard deviation, and x being the score. Substituting these values into the formula gives us z = (800 - 500) / 100 = 3 The z-score of the 800 point score is 3.
