Chapter Exercises: Solution

This document provides exercises to analyze examination score data from a sample of 50 students. It includes: 1) Calculating the mean and standard deviation of the full data set, which are 79.71 and 5.97 respectively. 2) Computing the z-scores and standard T-scores for individual examination scores of 84, 89, and 77. 3) Taking a random sample of 10 scores, calculating the mean and standard deviation of the sample, and finding the standard T-score of the sample mean. 4) Repeating the sampling and calculations in #3 for a second sample of 10 scores.

CHAPTER 5

CHAPTER EXERCISES

A. The following scores were observed in a periodical examination


administered to a group of 50 students:
75, 82, 85, 87, 88, 83, 86, 77, 76, 76, 77, 89, 90, 91, 92, 88, 83, 80, 77, 74,
72, 70, 75, 78, 78, 77, 77, 76, 74, 78, 78, 78, 78, 88, 86, 84, 85, 83, 70, 77,
70, 70, 71, 73, 78, 80, 77, 84, 85
1. Compute the mean and standard deviation of the examination
scores.

Solution:

MEAN:
n

∑ xi 75+ 82+85+⋯ +77+84 +85 3828


μ= i=1 = = =79.71
n 49 49

STANDARD DEVIATION:
n

σ=
√ ∑ ( x i−μ )2
i=1
n
=
( 75−79.71 )2 + ( 82−79.71 )2+ ⋯+ ( 84−79.71 )2 + ( 85−79.71 )2
√ 49
= (√ 1745
48 )
=√ 35

2. What are the z-scores and the standard T-score of an examination


score of 84? 89? 77?
x−μ 84−79.71
z= = =0.7186 thenT =50+10 z=50+10 ( 0.7186 ) =67.19
σ 5.97
x−μ 89−79.71
z= = =1.5561 thenT =50+10 z=50+10 ( 1.5561 )=65.56
σ 5.97
x−μ 75−79.71
z= = =−0.7889 thenT =50+10 z=50+ 10 (−0.7889 )=42.11
σ 5.97
x−μ 77−79.71
z= = =−0.4539thenT =50+ 10 z=50+ 10 (−0.4539 )=45.46
σ 5.97

3. Obtain a sample of size 10. Compute the mean and standard


deviation of the scores in this sample. Obtain the standard T-score
of the sample mean computed.

√ 10
= (√ 230.5
10 )
= √23.05

x−μ 81.5−79.71
z= = =0.2998 thenT =50+10 z=50+ 10 ( 0.2998 )=5 3
σ 5.97

4. Repeat the procedure in problem 3. Obtain another set of sample


of size 10 and compute the mean and standard deviation for the
sample. Obtain the standard T-score for this sample mean.
n

∑ xi 78+ 77+77+ ⋯+78+78+88


μ= i=1 = =78.2
