The scores on a standardized test are normally distributed with a mean of 85 and standard deviation of 6. What test score is 2.64 standard deviations below the mean?
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.
The scores on a standardized test are
Since z-score is a measure of how far the standard deviation is away from the mean (Above/below).
Above the mean implies the z-score is positive.
Below the mean implies the z-score is negative.
Let "X" be the scores on a standardized test.
