WHEN GIVEN A RAW SCORE, EXPLAIN HOW TO USE THE NORMAL CURVE TO COMPARE THAT SCORE TO THE POPULATION. WHAT IS A Z-SCORE?

1 answer:

5 0

1. When given a raw score, it must be converted into a z-score (standard score). Raw scores cannot be placed on a normal distribution curve because they do not have the same means and standard deviations, but when it is converted into a z-score, the number of standard deviations above or below the population mean can be measured. The z-scores on the center are average, the scores on the left are lower than average and the scores on the right are higher than average.

2. A z-score is a standard score which can be placed on a normal distribution curve. A z-score indicates the distance of the standard deviations from the mean (center of the curve).

What is the simplest form of square root of

AveGali [126]

First step is to simplify the inside of the radical. There are x's on both top and bottom of the fraction. So we subtract their exponents. x³ - x¹ = x². Because the x³ was in the denominator and it was bigger, the x² goes on the bottom.

Your new equation is:

$\sqrt{\frac{126y^{5}}{32x^{2}} }$

Now, I'd suggest factoring each term to correspond with the square root.

126y⁵ = 9 · 14 · y² · y² · y

32x² = 4 · 4 · 2 · x²

9, y², and y² can be square rooted in the numerator. 4, 4, and x² in the denominator. So we pull out their square roots and place them outside of the radical. The rest stays in the radical:

$\frac{3 * y * y}{2*2*x}\sqrt{\frac{14y}{2}}$
