Question
f your score on your next statistics test is converted to a z score, which of these z scores would you prefer:
−2.00,
−1.00,
0, 1.00, 2.00? Why?Question content area bottom
Part 1
The z score of
mean and would correspond to an above average test score.
−1.00
is most preferable because it is 1.00 standard deviation below the The z score of 1.00 is most preferable because it is 1.00 standard deviation above the mean and would correspond to an above average test score.
The z score of 2.00 is most preferable because it is 2.00 standard deviations above the mean and would correspond to the highest of the five different possible test scores.
The z score of
−2.00
is most preferable because it is 2.00 standard deviations below the mean and would correspond to the highest of the five different possible test scores.The z score of 0 is most preferable because it corresponds to a test score equal to the mean.
