1. In statistics, what is the purpose of calculating a z-score?

A. It provides information about the shape of the distribution.
B. It indicates the exact value of the original raw score.
C. It helps determine if a score is significantly different from the mean.
D. It measures the dispersion of scores within a dataset.
2. In terms of curve behavior, what does it signify when we describe a curve
as approaching the baseline asymptotically?
A. It indicates a perfectly symmetrical curve.
B. It suggests that the curve expands infinitely in both directions.
C. It means that the curve eventually touches and intersects the baseline.
D. It implies that the curve gradually approaches the baseline but never actually
reaches it.
3. In a Mathematics test, the mean score was 80 with a standard deviation of
10. Calculate the standardized score for a student who obtained a score of 70.
A. -0.8 B. -1.0 C. 1.0 D. 0.8
4. Considering the scenario described in question 3, what conclusion can be
drawn from the calculated standard score?
A. Therefore, the standard score is equivalent to the mean score.
B. Therefore, the standard score is higher than the mean score.
C. Therefore, the standard score is lower than the mean score.
D. Therefore, the standard score is not influenced by the mean score.
5. In statistical analysis, which term refers to a descriptive measure that is
calculated based on a population?
A. Indicator B. Parameter
