Explanation Given Information: The scores are 85, 73, 74, 69, 87, 81, 68, 76, 78,75, 88, 85, 67, 83, 82, 95, 63, 84, 78, 96, 67, 63, 59, 100, 90, 100, 90, 100, 94, 79, 79, 74. Formula used: General rules for choosing interval: 1) Number of intervals should be between 6 and 20. 2) Length of interval should be same and should always be an odd number. 3) Mid-point should have same number of digits and it should lie between the interval. 4) Lower limit should be lower than the least value and upper limit should be greater than highest value. Mid-point is given by: mid-point = lower limit+upper limit 2 Mean of frequency distribution is given by: Mean = Sum of ( x f ) f Where, x is the mid-point and f is the frequency. Sample standard deviation is given by: s = sum of D 2 f n − 1 Calculation: Consider the scores 85, 73, 74, 69, 87, 81, 68, 76, 78,75, 88, 85, 67, 83, 82, 95, 63, 84, 78, 96, 67, 63, 59, 100, 90, 100, 90, 100, 94, 79, 79, 74. The lowest limit should be lower than 59 and highest limit should be greater than 100. And the intervals should not be less than 6 and should not exceed 20. Check the difference of highest value and lowest value and set the interval accordingly. Here the difference between the highest and lowest value is 41. Now let the number of intervals to be chosen is 6. Now the nearest number that is divisible by 6 is 42. Now the length of interval should be will be ( 42 ÷ 6 ) = 7 . Since the interval difference is taken 42 that is one greater than 41, therefore lowest limit should be 0.5 lower than 59 and upper limit should be greater than 100 by 0.5. interval x f xf 58.5-65.5 65.5-72.5 72.5-79.5 79.5-86.5 86.5-93.5 93.5-100.5 3 5 9 7 3 6 In order to complete the table: Find the mid-point and product of x and f : mid-point ( x ) = lower limit+upper limit 2 = 58.5 + 65.5 2 = 124 2 = 62 product of x and f : x f = x ⋅ f = 62 ⋅ 3 = 186 Find mid-point and product of x and f for all other intervals similarly

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 compar…
