A).6
B).7
C).8
D)1.6

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The predicted Z score on the criterion variable (Y) can be calculated using the formula: Z_Y = r * Z_X, where r is the correlation coefficient and Z_X is the Z score for the predictor variable. Here, r = .50 and Z_X = 1.20, so Z_Y = .50 * 1.20 = .6.
