Algebra.Com's Answer #823794 by Theo(13342)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! mean is 70 and standard deviation is 15.75. \n" ); document.write( "you want to find two points that contain different percentages of the area under the normal distribution curve between them. \n" ); document.write( "you would be looking for the critical z-scores that would have the stated area between them. \n" ); document.write( "a statistical calculator makes this easy. \n" ); document.write( "one online calculator that you can use can be found at https://davidmlane.com/hyperstat/z_table.html \n" ); document.write( "here are your results using this calculator.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " ![]() \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " ![]() \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " ![]() \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " ![]() \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "to solve this problem, you select value from an area, enter the area (decimal equivalent, not percent), enter the mean and the standard deviation, select between and then calculate.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if you want z-scores rather than raw scores, enter 0 for mean and 1 for standard deviation. \n" ); document.write( "if you do that, then you will have to use the z-score formula to find the raw score. \n" ); document.write( "there is no need, however, because the calculator does that for you.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "i did one just to show you what i mean. \n" ); document.write( "you do everything you did above except you enter 0 for the mean and 1 for the standard deviation. \n" ); document.write( "you enter .98 for the area and select between. \n" ); document.write( "it tells you that the z-scores are -2.326 to 2.326 \n" ); document.write( "to find the raw score, you use the z-score formula. \n" ); document.write( "for z-score of -2.326, the formula becomes -2.326 = (x - 70) / 15.75 \n" ); document.write( "solve for x to get: \n" ); document.write( "x = -2.326 * 15.75 + 70 = 33.3655. \n" ); document.write( "this is very close to what you got working from raw scores directly, but it will not always be right on because of rounding differences.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "let me know if you have any questions. \n" ); document.write( "theo\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
