Math Problem Statement
A normal distribution of x-scores is N(38, 4). Draw the Normal curve and label it. Convert the x to z-score Round the z-scores to 2 decimal places.
- x= 47, z =
- x= 40, z =
- x = 38, z =
- x = 35, z =
- x = 34, z =
- x = 25, z = If the distribution of x-scores is N(38,4) the how do we write the distribution of z-scores? What are the units for z-scores?
Solution
Here are the z-scores corresponding to the given x-scores:
- ,
- ,
- ,
- ,
- ,
- ,
Writing the distribution of z-scores:
The z-scores follow the standard normal distribution, which is written as , meaning a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1.
Units for z-scores:
Z-scores are unitless, as they represent how many standard deviations a value is from the mean.
Would you like more details on any part of this, or do you have any questions?
Here are five related questions to deepen understanding:
- How do you interpret a z-score of 2.25?
- What does it mean when the z-score is 0?
- How do you calculate probabilities using z-scores?
- What is the probability of an x-score being greater than 47 in this distribution?
- How would the normal curve change if the standard deviation were increased?
Tip: Z-scores help standardize data, allowing comparison across different normal distributions.
