Calculating Z Score Practice Answers
1. z = (85 - 75) / 10 = 1
2. z = (950 - 1000) / 50 = -1
3. z = (9.1 - 7.5) / 1.2 = 1.33
4. z = (72 - 69) / 2 = 1.5
5. z = (150 - 135) / 15 = 1
6. z = (55 - 45) / 5 = 2
7. z = (60,000 - 50,000) / 10,000 = 1
8. z = (130 - 100) / 15 = 2
9. z = (68 - 64) / 2 = 2
10. z = (19 - 21) / 2 = -1
11. z = (6 - 8) / 1 = -2
12. z = (190 - 170) / 20 = 1
13. z = (72 - 67) / 3 = 1.67
14. z = (85 - 75) / 5 = 2
15. z = (50,000 - 40,000) / 5,000 = 2
16. z = (9.5 - 8) / 1.5 = 1
17. z = (82 - 77) / 3 = 1.67
18. z = (40 - 30) / 5 = 2
19. z = (50 - 70) / 10 = -2
20. z = (72,000 - 60,000) / 8,000 = 1.5
Note that for problems 4 and 13, the heights were converted from feet and inches to inches to use the formula.
