  1. In a population distribution, a score of X = 28 corresponds to a z = -6.00 and a score of 66 corresponds to a z = 3.50. Find the mean and the standard deviation for the population.(3points)

  2. A distribution with a mean of 123 and a standard deviation of 8 is transformed into a standardized distribution with a mean of 54 and a standard deviation of 5. Find the new standardized score for each of the values from the original population.(8 points)



  1. X = 130

  2. X = 150

  3. X = 100

  4. X = 105



  1. Find the z-score boundaries that separate a normal distribution as described in each of the following.(4 points)



  1. The middle 26% from the 74% in the tails.

  2. The middle 70% from the 30% in the tails.



  1. S.M.A.R.T. test scores are standardized to produce a normal distribution with a mean of 150 and a standard deviation of 25. Find the proportion of the population in each of the following S.M.A.R.T. categories.(6 points)

3)        
z = (X-mean)/sd         
that is z*sd = (X-mean)        
        
-6*sd = (28-mean)         …(1)
3.5*sd = (66-mean
)         …(2)
        
subtract (1) - (2)        
-9.5*Sd = -38    
sd =      =38/9.5    
sd =     4.0    
        
put sd=4 in (1)        
-6*4 = 28-mean        
mean = 28 + 24        
mean =     52    
4)
a)
z = (X-mean)/sd
=(130-123)/8
0.875
b)
z = (X-mean)/sd
=(150-123)/8
3.375
c)
=(100-123)/8
-2.875
d)
