We find a sample of people and we weigh each person. The distribution of their weights is positively skewed with a mean of 157 and a standard deviation of 47. If this distribution is transformed into z-scores, what will be the resulting shape, mean, and standard deviation of the new distribution?
For a population with µ = 75 and σ = 10 find the z-score corresponding to the following raw scores X = 70 X = 77 X = 75
Homework Answers
The distribution of their weights is positively skewed with a mean of 157 and a standard deviation of 47.
If this distribution is transformed into z-score, then shape of the new distribution is bell shape.
Mean = 0
Standard deviation = 1
( By using central limit theorem)
For a population with µ = 75 and σ = 10
We have to find z score.
x = 70
x = 77
x = 75

#3 One of the most common ways of measuring intelligence is the IQ test. IQ scores in the US population have an average of µ = 100 and a standard deviation of σ = 15. Suppose a researcher wanted to test whether socioeconomic status (SES) has an effect on IQ scores. The researcher takes a random sample of n = 100 people, selected from a list of the 1000 richest people in the United States. a. Based on this information,...
