In a study where scientists wanted to compare two different techniques for measuring the amount of k ingested by 16 infants, the mean and standard deviation of the measured differences were d = 135
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.
![21. In a study where scientists wanted to compare two different techniques for measuring the amount of
milk ingested by 16 infants, the mean and standard deviation of the measured differences were d = 135
and
SD = 200 respectively. A probability plot of the differences showed that differences are distributed
according to a normal distribution. At a = 0.01 significance level, does it appear that the true average
difference between the intake values measured by the two methods is greater than zero?
