Question

A student received a Z score of 0 on a norm referenced achievement test that has a mean of 100 and standard deviation of 15. What is the student's standard score

Answer 1

If the scores for a test have a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15, what is the percentage of scores that will fall below 112? Assuming a normal distribution.

To calculate a z-score : [your score - mean score] / standard deviation => (112-100)/15 => 12/15 = 0.8

Now look up the percent for a z-score of 0.8
