The teacher in a kindergarten school measures the height of her students. If the heights were normally distributed with the mean of 112 cm and a standard deviation 3.25 cm, find the heights x that corresponds to the following z-scores: z = 2.24 z = -1.52 z = 0.76
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 teacher in a kindergarten school measures the height of her students. If the heights were
- z = 2.24
- z = -1.52
- z = 0.76
