Direction: Calculate the z-score, given the mean, standard deviation, and raw score (X). Then, state whether the z-score
locates the raw score X within a sample or within a population. Also, state whether each raw score lies below or above
the mean. You may refer to the examples at the back for your reference. Write your answers below.
Given:
X =50, s=5, X́=40
Solution:
Examples:
A. Reading Scores
Given the mean, μ=50 and the standard deviation, σ =4 of a population of Reading scores. Find the z-value
that corresponds to a score X =58 .
Steps Solution
1. Use the computing formula for finding z-scores of X−μ
z=
population data. σ
2. Check the given values. Since these are population μ=50, σ =4, X =58
values, the z-score locates X within a population.
3. Substitute the given values in the computing formula. 58−50
z=
4
4. Compute the z-value. 8
z= =2
4
Thus, the z-value that corresponds to the raw score 58 is
2 in a population distribution.
5. Determine if the raw score lies below or above the This conversion from raw score to z-score is shown
mean. graphically below.
From the diagram, we see that a score X =58

corresponds to z=2 . It is above the mean. So we can
say that, with respect to the mean, the score of 58 is
above average.
B. Score in PE
Locate the z-value that corresponds to a PE score of 39 given that μ=45 and σ =6 .
Steps Solution
z=
population data. σ
2. Check the given values. The z-score in question μ=45, σ=6, X =39
locates X within a population.
z=
6
4. Compute the z-value. −6
z= =−1
6
−1 in a population distribution.
5. Determine if the raw score lies below or above the With respect to the mean, the score 39 is below the
mean. population mean. We can also say that 39 is below
average.
C. Scores in a Science Test
Given X =20, X́ =26 and s=4 . Compute the corresponding z-score.
Steps Solution
1. Use the computing formula for finding z-scores of X− X́
sample data. z=
s
2. Check the given values. The z-score in question X́ =26 , s=4,∧X=20
locates X within a sample.
z=
4
4. Compute the z-value. −6 −3
z= = =−1.5
4 2
−1.5 in a sample distribution.
5. Determine if the raw score lies to the left or to the The corresponding z-score lies to the left of the mean. We
right of the mean. can say that 20 is below average.
