Determine what scores correspond to the top and bottom 10


Using the sample data collected (see attached), consider the variables (satisfaction with job and satisfaction with the economy) and perform the following:

1. Determine what scores correspond to the top and bottom 10% and 25% of the data.
Begin with the z-score formula and transform the formula so that you are solving for the individual score (denoted as X in the z-score formula).

2. Determine the z-score that corresponds to the top 10% and then substitute in your values for the mean and the standard deviation. Repeat the steps for the bottom 10% and then the top and bottom 25%.

3. Determine what percentage will be between 3 and 7 for both variables (these scores correspond to ratings of somewhat satisfied to somewhat dissatisfied and exclude the extreme ratings of extremely satisfied and extremely dissatisfied).
Start with the z-score formula and calculate the z-score for each value. Explain the process for converting a z-score to a percentile.

4. Determine what scores correspond to the top and bottom 10% and 25% of the data.

5. Transform the z-score formula for solving for the individual score.

6. Determine the z-score that corresponds to the top 10% and substituted in your values for the mean and the standard deviation. Repeat the steps for the bottom 10% and the top and bottom 25%.

7. Determine what percentage will be between 3 and 7 for both variables.
Compute the z-score for each value. Explained the process for converting a z-score to a percentile.
