    WORKSHEET 7: STANDARD NORMAL DISTRIBUTION AND Z-SCORE

    1. A normal distribution of scores has a standard deviation of 10. Find the z-scores corresponding to
    each of the following values:

    a) A score of 60, where the mean score of the sample data values is 40.

    b) A score of 80, where the mean score of the sample data values is 30.

    c) A score of 20, where the mean score of the sample data values is 50.

    2. For the numbers below, find the area (in percent) between the mean and the z-score:

    a) z = 1.17

    b) z = -1.37

    3. The Adult Intelligence Test Scale is composed of a number of subtests. On one subtest, the raw
    scores have a mean of 35 and a standard deviation of 6. Assuming these raw scores form a normal
    distribution:

    a) What score represents the Z = 0.39?

    b) What score represents the Z = 1.28?

    c) What is the probability of getting a raw score between 28 and 38?

    d) What is the probability of getting a raw score between 41 and 44?

    4. Scores on the UPCAT form a normal distribution with and .What is the minimum
    score necessary to be in the top 15% of the UPCAT distribution?

    5. The life of the bulbs has a normal distribution with a mean value of 2000 hours and a standard
    deviation of 200 hours. What is the probability that the light bulb will last for at least 1800 hours?

    6. Suppose the height of Grade 11 male students is normally distributed with a mean of 65 inches and
    a standard deviation of 7.

    a.) What percentage of the male’s height would we expect to be between 51 and 72?

    b.) What percentage of the male’s height would we expect to be less than 65 inches?

    c.) What percentage of the male’s height would we expect to be 72 and more?

    7. IQ scores have a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 16. Albert Einstein reportedly had an IQ
    of 160.

    a.) What is the difference between Einstein’s IQ and the mean?

    b.) Convert Einstein’s IQ score to a z score.

    c.) If we consider “usual IQ scores to be those that convert z scores between -2 and 2, is
    Einstein’s IQ usual or unusual?
