4. Suppose you administered an anxiety test to a large sample of people and obtained normally distributed scores with a mean of 45 and standard deviation of 4. Do not use web-calculator to answer the following questions. Instead, you need to use the Z distribution table in Appendix A in Jackson’s book.
a. If Andrew scored 45 on this test. What is his Z score?
Z= (µ-x)/s = (45-45)/4= 0
b. If Anna scored 30 on this test. What is her Z score?
Z= (µ-x)/s = (30-45)/4 = 3. 75
c. If Bill’s Z score was 1. 5, what is his real score on this test?
µ = (Z*s)/x = (1. 5*4)/45= 0. 1333
d. There are 200 students in a sample. How many of these students will have scores that fall under the score of 41?
The z-score for 41= (41-45)/4
=-1
Decimal For a s. d of -1 from the table= . 159
= 0. 159*200= 31. 8= 31 students
5. The table below shows Psychology exam scores, Statistics Exam scores, and IQ scores for a random sample of students. What can you observe in the relationship between IQ and psychology, psychology and statistics, and IQ and statistics? Using a web-calculator, obtain the Pearson’s r and coefficient of determination for the following relationships.
a. Between the IQ and psychology scores
r= 0. 5923
