Assume the following 5 scores represent a sample: 2, 3, 5, 5, 6. Transform these scores into z-scores. Show all steps

Respuesta :

The z-scores of the scores are -1.34, -0.73, 0.48, 0.48 and 1.10

How to transform the scores?

The sample scores are given as:

2, 3, 5, 5, 6.

Calculate the mean and the standard deviation using a statistical calculator.

From the statistical calculator, we have:

[tex]\bar x = 4.2[/tex] --- mean

[tex]\sigma_x = 1.64[/tex] --- standard deviation

The z-score is then calculated using

[tex]z= \frac{x - \bar x}{\sigma}[/tex]

Where:

x = 2, 3, 5, 5, 6.

So, we have:

[tex]z_1= \frac{2 - 4.2}{1.64} = -1.34[/tex]

[tex]z_2= \frac{3 - 4.2}{1.64} = -0.73[/tex]

[tex]z_3= \frac{5 - 4.2}{1.64} = 0.48[/tex]

[tex]z_4= \frac{5 - 4.2}{1.64} = 0.48[/tex]

[tex]z_5= \frac{6 - 4.2}{1.64} = 1.10[/tex]

Hence, the z-scores of the scores are -1.34, -0.73, 0.48, 0.48 and 1.10
