a. Find the mean, median, and mode for the following scores.
9 6 7 10 7 9 9 7 9 4 9 8 3 6 8 9
b. Based on the relative values for the mean, median, and mode, what is the most likely
shape for this distribution of scores (symmetrical, positively skewed, or negatively
skewed)?

Q3. A sample of n = 12 scores has a sample mean of = 60 and a sample standard deviation of
s = 5.3. What are the values of ∑X and SS?

b. Now change the score of X = 9 to X = 3, and find the new values for mean, SS,
variance, and standard deviation.
c. Describe how one extreme score influences the mean and standard deviation.

Q5. A sample consists of the following n = 5 scores: 8, 4, 10, 0, 3.


a. Compute the mean and standard deviation for the sample.
b. Find the z-score for each score in the sample.
c. Transform the original sample into a new sample with a mean of = 100 and s = 20.

Q6. Find the z-score corresponding to X = 105 and the X value corresponding to z = 10.40
for each of the following populations.
a. µ = 100 and σ = 12
b. µ = 100 and σ = 4
