For a standardized psychology examination intended for psychology majors, the historical data show that scores have of 175. The grading process of this year's exam has just begun. The average score of the 40 exams graded so far is of 40 exams will have a mean score of 518 or more if the exam scores follow the same distribution as in the past?
Inverse Normal Distribution
The method used for finding the corresponding z-critical value in a normal distribution using the known probability is said to be an inverse normal distribution. The inverse normal distribution is a continuous probability distribution with a family of two parameters.
Mean, Median, Mode
It is a descriptive summary of a data set. It can be defined by using some of the measures. The central tendencies do not provide information regarding individual data from the dataset. However, they give a summary of the data set. The central tendency or measure of central tendency is a central or typical value for a probability distribution.
Z-Scores
A z-score is a unit of measurement used in statistics to describe the position of a raw score in terms of its distance from the mean, measured with reference to standard deviation from the mean. Z-scores are useful in statistics because they allow comparison between two scores that belong to different normal distributions.
![### Probability Calculation for Psychology Exam Scores
For a standardized psychology examination intended for psychology majors, the historical data show that scores have a mean of 515 and a standard deviation of 175. The grading process of this year's exam has just begun. The average score of the 40 exams graded so far is 518. What is the probability that a sample of 40 exams will have a mean score of 518 or more if the exam scores follow the same distribution as in the past?
