The data refer to the glucose level of 60 children: 56 61 57 77 62 75 63 55 64 60 60 57 61 57 67 62 69 67 68 59 65 72 65 61 68 73 65 62 75 80 66 61 69 76 72 57 75 68 83 64 69 64 66 74 65 76 65 58 65 64 65 60 65 80 66 80 68 55 66 71 a) Build a frequency distribution b) Determine as simple accumulated frequencies for each class.
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.
