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 tw…
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 o…

Chapter 4, Problem 16P

16. Compute the mean and standard deviation for the following sample of n = 4 scores: 82, 88, 82 and 86, Hint: To simplify the arithmetic you can subtracted 80 points from each score to obtain a new sample consisting of 2, 8, 2 and 6. Then, compute the mean and standard deviation for the new sample. Use the values you obtain to find the mean and standard deviation for the original sample
