The population 3, 4, 9, 14, and 20 has a mean of 10 and a standard deviation of 6.356. The z-scores for each of the five data values are z3 ≈ −1.101, z4 ≈ −0.944, z9 ≈ −0.157, z14 ≈ 0.629, and z20 ≈ 1.573. Find the mean and the standard deviation of these z-scores.

Answer:

First, we find the square of the difference of the z values provided and sum them up giving us a value of 4.997956. We, therefore, calculate the sum of the sample mean given the number of samples to be 5 which gives us zero(0).

To calculate the standard deviation we use the formula that takes the square root of the inverse of the number of samples (n)*(the summation of the square of the difference between the sample and the mean which gives us 1.

*Step-by-step explaination

Given z3= -1.101, (z3 minus mean of z3)^2= 1.212201

Given z4= -0.944, (z4 minus mean of z4)^2=0.891136

Given z9= -0.157, (z9 minus mean of z9)^2= 0.024649

Given z14= 0.629, (z14 minus mean of z14)^2= 0.395641

Given z20= 1.573, (z20 minus mean of z20)^2= 2.474329

Therefore the summation of all Z values = Zero(0)

Also, the summation of (z values minus the mean of z values)^2= 4.997956

Therefore where n =5,

The sample mean of z values is given by the summation of z values divided by n = Zero (0)

To calculate standard deviation we use the formula that takes the square root of the inverse of the number of samples (n)*(the summation of the square of the difference between the sample and the mean which gives us 1.

Using it's concepts, it is found that:

  • The mean of the z-scores is 0.
  • The standard deviation of the z-scores is 1.

  • The mean of a data-set is the sum of all elements in the data-set, divided by the number of elements.
  • The standard deviation of a data-set is the sum of the difference squared between each value and the mean, divided by the number of values.

In this problem, the observations are: -1.101, -0.944, -0.157, 0.629 and 1.573.

Hence:

[tex]M = \frac{-1.101 - 0.944 - 0.157 + 0.629 + 1.573}{5} = 0[/tex]

The mean of the z-scores is 0.

[tex]S = \sqrt{\frac{(-1.101-0)^2 + (-0.944-0)^2 + (-0.157-0)^2 + (0.629-0)^2 + (1.573-0)^2}{5}} = 1[/tex]

The standard deviation of the z-scores is 1.
