Z Score
• Also called the standard score
![Page 3: Measures of Position](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081802/563dbb3d550346aa9aab741f/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Z Score
• Also called the standard score
• Represents the number of standard deviations a score is from the mean
![Page 4: Measures of Position](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081802/563dbb3d550346aa9aab741f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Z Score
• Also called the standard score
• Represents the number of standard deviations a score is from the mean
• Always round value to 2 decimal places.

Formulas
• Sample
• Population
x - xz = s
x - z = µσ

Example
Human body temperatures have a mean of 98.20 degrees and a standard deviation of 0.62 degrees.
Find the z score for temperatures of: a. 100 degrees b. 97 degrees
![Page 7: Measures of Position](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081802/563dbb3d550346aa9aab741f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Solution
Z = (100 – 98.20)/0.62 Z = 2.90
![Page 8: Measures of Position](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081802/563dbb3d550346aa9aab741f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Solution
Z = (100 – 98.20)/0.62 Z = 2.90 Z = (97 – 98.20)/0.62 Z = -1.94
![Page 9: Measures of Position](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081802/563dbb3d550346aa9aab741f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Significance of Z
• Z scores above 2 or below -2 are considered to be UNUSUAL.
• Z scores above 3 or below -3 are considered to be VERY UNUSUAL.
![Page 10: Measures of Position](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081802/563dbb3d550346aa9aab741f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Conclusion about temperatures
• The temperature of 100 degrees is UNUSUAL.
• The temperature of 97 degrees is ordinary.

Another use of z scores
Z scores can also be used to compare
relative position for different data sets.
![Page 12: Measures of Position](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081802/563dbb3d550346aa9aab741f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Example: page 100 #10
![Page 13: Measures of Position](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081802/563dbb3d550346aa9aab741f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Example: page 100 #10
a. Z = (144 – 128)/34 = 0.47 b. Z = (90 – 86)/18 = 0.22 c. Z = (18 – 15)/5 = 0.60
The third score is the largest, so that is the
test result with the highest relative score.

Percentiles
• A percentile tells the percent of scores that are lower than a given score.
![Page 15: Measures of Position](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081802/563dbb3d550346aa9aab741f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Percentiles
• A percentile tells the percent of scores that are lower than a given score.
• Write: P90 (or whatever number we need)
![Page 16: Measures of Position](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081802/563dbb3d550346aa9aab741f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Percentiles
• A percentile tells the percent of scores that are lower than a given score.
• Write: P90 (or whatever number we need)
• We will not be calculating percentiles as
the data sets should be quite large in order for the percentile to be meaningful.
![Page 17: Measures of Position](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081802/563dbb3d550346aa9aab741f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Example
• A pediatrician reports that a child is in the 90th percentile for heights among children of that age. This is P90.
• That means 90% of all children of that age are shorter than the given child. The child is taller than average.
![Page 18: Measures of Position](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081802/563dbb3d550346aa9aab741f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Quartiles
• Quartiles divide the data set into 4 groups, each of which has the same number of members.
• Q1 corresponds to P25 • Q2 corresponds to P50 or the median • Q3 corresponds to P75
![Page 19: Measures of Position](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081802/563dbb3d550346aa9aab741f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Q1, Q2, Q3 divides ranked scores into four equal parts
Quartiles
25% 25% 25% 25%
Q3 Q2 Q1 (minimum) (maximum)
(median)

Finding quartiles
1. Sort the data. 2. Locate the median. 3. Q1 is the median of the group of scores
starting at the minimum value and going up to but not including the true median.
![Page 23: Measures of Position](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081802/563dbb3d550346aa9aab741f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Finding quartiles
1. Sort the data. 2. Locate the median. 3. Q1 is the median of the group of scores
starting at the minimum value and going up to but not including the true median.
4. Q3 is the median of the group of scores starting just past the true median and going up to the maximum value.
