The average people in a calculus class in a college is 34 kids with a standard deviation of 2. What is the z-score of there being a class with 39 kids
2.5
100

These are the scores for 4 people.

Chandler got 2 points above the mean.

Phoebe got 2 points below the mean.

Joey got 5 points below the mean.

What is the score of the 4th person in relation to the mean?

What is half of the mean?

200

these variables fit this scale of measurement:

social security number

types of cats

What is nominal?

200
What % of all values lie within 3 standard deviation on either side of the mean
99.7%
200
Find z so that 58% of curve lies within -z and z
0.806421 (100-58=42%, 42%/2=21% and 100-21% = 79%, then do invnorm(0.79,0,0)
200
The average test score in the class was a 88, with a standard deviation of 5 points. Jake received a 80. What is the z-score of his test grade.
-1.6
200
What is the equation to find the z score
(your value - mean)/standard deviation
300

Jerry wants to know how income affects test scores.

Income is the ____ variable and test scores is the ________ variable.

What is independent and dependent?

300
If you are given a sample in which the model is normal and 95% of the values are included, how many standard deviations away from the mean should we expect the most extreme values within the 95% be
2 standard deviations
300
The mean grade on the test was 82 with a standard deviation of 6. If the model is normal what is the assumed cutoff grade that the top 5% of students in the class received for a grade
91.8691
300
A kid got his test back, but there was no score on the test. He was given that his grade had a z-score of 0.8. He was also given that the mean grade in his class was a 87 with a standard deviation of 5. What grade did he receive on his test
91
300
If your value is below the mean, is your z-score going to be positive or negative
negative
400
What two things do you need to find the z-score of a given value
Mean and standard deviation
400
Without using a calculator, given that the model is normal, what percentage of values should lie over 1 standard deviation above the mean
16% ( 100-68=32, 32/2=16%) you divide by 2 since we are only looking at values over 1 standard deviation, and not including below 1 standard deviation.
400
The average test score in a class was a 85 with a standard deviation of 7. Ryan received a 75. The teacher said that the bottom 10% of the class would have to retake the test. Assuming that the model is normal, does Ryan have to retake the test?
yes
400
A kid finds out that his test grade of 94 had a z-score of 2.25. If the mean test grade in his class was a 85, what was the standard deviation of the grades in his class.
4
400

This measure of variation tells us how much data values deviate from the average/mean.

What is the standard deviation?

500
If the graph of a model is bimodal and skewed, is the model normal
No
500
What is the probability that a kid gets a test grade that is 3 standard deviations below the mean, given that the model is normal
0.15% (100-99.7= 0.3%, 0.3/2=0.15%) we divide by 2 since we are only looking at values below 3 standard deviations, and we are not including above 3 standard deviations
500
Find z so that 30% of the curve lies between 0 and z
0.841621 (if 30% is between 0 and z, and that is half the curve so 50% is to the left of 0 so 30+50 = 80% so you do invnorm(0.8,0,1)
500
Mike finds that his test grade of 82 had a z-score of -1.5 and that the standard deviation of the grades in his class was 6. What was the mean test grade in his class
91
500
What two things should the graph of a model be to determine that it is normal
should be unimodal and roughly symmetric
