Standard Score Calculation Examples

The document provides examples of calculating standard scores and percentiles from normally distributed data with given means and standard deviations. It asks the reader to determine Luz's better subject standing based on her English and Physics test scores. It also asks the reader to calculate the percentage of scores greater than 48, less than 50, and between 30 and 48 for a Science test with a mean of 42 and standard deviation of 5.

Example 4

• Luz scored 90 in an English test and 70 in a Physics test. Scores in the


English test have a mean of 80 and a standard deviation of 10. Scores
in the physics test have a mean of 60 and a standard deviation of 8. In
which subject was her standing better?
• For English For Physics
Example 5
• In a Science test, the mean score is 42 and the standard deviation is 5.
Assuming the scores are normally distributed , what percent of the
score is
• a. greater than 48?
• Less than 50?
• C. between 30 and 48?
A. Greater than 48
Convert score 48 to Z score
B. Less than 50?
Convert score 50 to Z score
C. Between 30 and 48?
C. Between 30 and 48?
In a math test ,the mean score is 45 and the standard
deviation is 4. Assuming normality, ehat is the probalility
that a score picked at random will lie,
a. Above score 50?
B. Below score 38?
