    1) The z score, also called the standard score, indicates how many standard deviations an observation is from the mean. 2) A positive z score means the observation is above the mean, while a negative z score indicates it is below the mean. 3) The t score measures the difference between two groups' means relative to the variation within the groups, with a larger t score indicating a smaller difference between the groups.

    A. Write TRUE if the statement is correct and FALSE if it is wrong.


    1. The z score is also called standard score.
    2. If the z score is positive the score is below the mean.
    3. The larger the t score, the smaller the difference is between the groups
    being tested.
    4. Percentile is the position in hundredths that a data holds in the
    distribution.
    5. Quartile is the position in fourths that a data value holds in the
    distribution.
    B. Answer the following.
    Test A
    Test B

    X = 38
    X = 94

    6-7. Find the z-score for each test.


    8-9. Find the t-score for each test.
    10. Interpret the t-score.

    Mean = 40
    Mean = 100

    S=5
    S = 10
