For this discussion, identify the appropriate application of standardized scores to reflect on their benefits and interpret how test scores and measures are commonly presented.
When comparing data from different distributions, what is the benefit of transforming data from these distributions to conform to the standard distribution?
What role do z scores play in transforming data from multiple distributions to the standard normal distribution?
- What is the relationship between z scores and percentages?
- Give an example of a variable likely to be normally distributed in the population and explain how z scores pertaining to that variable would be useful in a real-life situation.
