ACTIVITY 1: PRACTICE

Direction: In a Math Test, given µ = 77, and σ = 14. Find the z-score
value that corresponds to each of the following scores (in two decimal
places):

1. X = 63 z = - 1.00
2. X = 112 z = 2.5
3. X = 100 z = 1.64
4. X = 50 z = -1.93
5. X = 84 z = 0.5

Solution:
1. Given: X = 63, µ = 77, σ = 14

5. X = 84, µ = 77, σ = 14

X−μ

ACTIVITY 2: KEEP PRACTICING

1. µ = 50, σ = 12, z = 3 x = 86
2. µ = 50, σ = 12, z = -2.5 x = 20
3. x̄ = 83, s = 6, z = 0 x =83
4. x̄ = 45, s = 5, z = -0.75 x = 41
5. µ = 84, σ= 7, z = -0.45 x = 81

Solution:
1. Given: µ = 50, σ = 12, z = 3

X = μ + z (σ)

X = 50 + 3(12)

X = 50 + 36

X = 86

2. Given: µ = 50, σ = 12, z = -2.5

X = μ + z (σ)

X = 50 + ( − 2.5)(12)

X = 50 + (-30)

X = 50 - 30

X = 20

3. Given: x̄ = 83, s = 6, z = 0

X = x̄ + z (s)

X = 83 + 0(6)

X = 83 + 0

X = 83
4. Given: x̄ = 45, s = 5, z = -0.75

X = x̄ + z (s)

X = 45 + ( − 0.75)(5)

X = 45 + (-3.75)

X = 45 - 3.75

X = 41.25 or 41

5. Given: µ = 84, σ= 7, z = -0.45

X = μ + z (σ)

X = 84 + ( − 0.45)(7)

X = 84 + (-3.15)

X = 84 - 3. 15

X = 80.85 or 81
