The results of a statewide exam for assessing the mathematics skills of realtors were normally distributed with a mean score of 69 and a standard deviation of 12. The realtors who scored in the top 15% are to receive a special certificate, while those in the bottom 25% will be required to attend a remedial workshop. (Round your answers to the nearest whole number.) (a) What score does a realtor need in order to receive a certificate? or more (b) What score will dictate that the realtor attend the workshop? or less
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.
