Find the indicated z-scores shown in the attached graph.
First note that the shaded region is an area in between two z-scores. This means that the region is not a cumulative area from the left and to solve requires working instead with regions that are cumulative areas from the left.
Thus, to find the z-scores in this situation, one needs to find the cumulative areas to the left of each unknown z-score.
While either the Standard Normal Table or technology can be used to find the corresponding z-score, in this problem, use the table.
The two values must be approached individually.
First, consider the z-score for the lower 0.4649 to the left of z=0.
The area to the left of this z-score is not given in the problem directly and must be found using the inner areas given.
Note that 0.5 of any Standard Normal Distribution lies to the left of z=0 and that each half is divided into two unequal regions by the unknown z-scores.
The larger region is known from the problem statement to be 0.4649 and the smaller region is the one to the left of the desired z-score.
If the region of this area is known, then the Standard Normal Table can be used to find the z-score.
Using the fact that 0.5 of the distribution lies to the left of z=0, this smaller region is 0.5 − 0.4649 = _________.
Using the cumulative area from the left, locate the closest area in the body of the Standard Normal Table and identify the z-score corresponding to the lower _________.
Round the value to the nearest two decimal places.
The z-score for the lower 0.0351 is _________.
To find the second z-score, find the total cumulative area to the left of the upper z-score.
This is found by summing the three regions to the left of the z-score.
The first two larger regions are given in the problem statement as 0.4649
each.
each.
The third region was found earlier to be _________ when determining the first z-score.
Thus, the sum of these three regions is 0.4649 + 0.4649+ _________ = ?
Now, find the z-score corresponding to _________ in the Standard Normal Table. Round the value to the nearest two decimal places.
z≈ 1.81
Therefore, the z-scores are approximately _________ and __________???

- Mr. Palmer, has been teaching beginners how to fix their stroke for the last 10 years. The mean golfing score for all past students who learned with Mr. Palmer is 79. This golfing cycle, he tried a new teaching method using simulations instead of real-world golf. He then had 15 of his students that used his new method take a golfing test. Enter the data into SPSS. Use this dataset to answer this question: did Mr. Palmer’s students perform better on the golfing test using the new method as compared to the traditional teaching technique? 1. From the output, report the test statistic and the probability (obtained p-value, called “sig” in the output). Remember to include degrees of freedom when you report t-values. 2. Will you reject or fail to reject the null based on the SPSS output (Remember to use numbers from the output only to make your statistical conclusion. If you use a critical t, you will get no points.).arrow_forwardA traffic safety company publishes reports about motorcycle fatalities and helmet use.
