The college Physical Education Department offered an Advanced First Aid course last summer. The scores on the comprehensive final exam were normally distributed, and the z scores for some of the students are shown below. Robert, 1.11 Juan, 1.66 Susan, –1.9 Joel, 0.00 Jan, –0.65 Linda, 1.46

Step-by-step explanation:

Z-score:

In a set with mean and standard deviation , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean, positive z-scores are above the mean, negative are below the mean and 0 is the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Question a:

Robert, Juan and Linda had positive z-scores, so they scored above the mean, and the correct options are c,d,e.

(b) Which of these students scored on the mean?

Joel, which had a z-score of 0, so the correct option is b.

(c) Which of these students scored below the mean?

Jan and Susan had negative z-scores, so them, options a and f.

Question d:

We have that , so we have to find X for each student.

Jan:

Z = -0.65. So

b. Joel

Z = 0, so:

c. Juan

Z = 1.66, so:

d. Linda

Z = 1.46. So

e. Robert

Z = 1.11. So

f. Susan

Z = -1.9. So

step-by-step explanation:

you can add the two numbers and divide the result by 2. or you can find the gap between the two numbers and add half of this to the smaller number.
