TEST II PROBLEM SOLVING UNDERSTANDING TEST RESULTS (20 POINTS)
1. The results of nationwide aptitude test in mathematics are normally distributed with m = 60 and s = 15.
Find the raw score such that 90% the cases are below it.
II. Determine whether the statements is TRUE or FALSE. Write S if the statement is true and R if the
statement is false. Write your answer on the space provided. ( 2 points each)
____1. the expression 68% is equal to 0.68
____2. a probability value is a number from 0 to 1
____3. the normal curve is a probability distribution
____4. the scores at the base line of the normal curve are called z.
____5. The Mean is 60 ; standard deviation is 5 and X = 70, then the z-score is 1.
III. Locate the z-value that corresponds to a MATH score of 50 given that mean is 60 and the
standard deviation is 9. ( 2 points each)
Step solution
1. use the computing for finding z-scores of
population data
2. check the given values. the z-score in
questions locates X in a population
3. Substitute the given values in the computing
formula
4. Compute the Z- value
5. interpretation
IV. Given the population 1, 3, 5, and 6 . Suppose samples of size 2 are drawn from this population.
a. List all the possible samples and the corresponding mean (10 points)
b. Construct the sampling distribution of the sample means.( 10 points)
