A z score converts the raw score to a form that takes into consideration its standing relative to the _____ and _____ of the entire distribution of scores.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The z score formula uses the mean and standard deviation of the entire distribution to standardize a raw score, allowing us to determine its relative position within the distribution. This is why the best choice is B (mean and standard deviation) and not A (median and standard deviation) or D (median and interquartile range). The variance is related to the standard deviation (as the square root of it), but it is not used in the z score formula.
