A psychologist studied self-esteem scores and found the data set to be normally distributed with a mean of 80 and a standard deviation of 8.
What are the z-scores that mark the middle 95% of this distribution?
---------------------------
Find the z-values for the left and right tails::
invNorm(0.025) = -1.96 for left tail ; +1.96 for right tail
-------
Find the corresponding scores::
Left score:: xL = -1.96*8+80 = 64.32
Right score:: xR = +1.96*8+80 = 95.68
------------
Cheers,
