Read the problem below and answer the questions that follow? The mean score of a random sample of 17 students in Canduman National High school who took a special test in Statistics and Probability is 83.5 The standard deviation of the scores is 4, and the sample comes from approximately normal population. 1) What is the t-value in solving for the population mean given the confidence level of 90%? 2) What does this t-value mean under t-distribution?
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.
