Do not use web-calculator to answer the following questions. Instead, you need to use the Z distribution table in Appendix A in Jackson's book.
a. If Andrew scored 45 on this test. What is his Z score?
b. If Anna scored 30 on this test. What is her Z score?
c. If Bill's Z score was 1.5, what is his real score on this test?
d. There are 200 students in a sample. How many of these students will have scores that fall under the score of 41?
5. The table below shows Psychology exam scores, Statistics Exam scores, and IQ scores for a random sample of students. What can you observe in the relationship between IQ and psychology, psychology and statistics, and IQ and statistics?
