Standard Scores (SS) and the Unit Normal Curve
Example: SAT and GRE
![Page 3: Standard Scores Dr. Richard Jackson jackson_r@mercer.edu © Mercer University 2005 All Rights Reserved](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649eda5503460f94be989e/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Standard Scores (SS) and the Unit Normal Curve
SS is any measurement (score) that has been transformed from a raw score to a more meaningful score
Example: SAT and GRE

Z Score
Special type of standardized score Represents measures that have been
transformed from raw scores /measures Represents the number of standard
deviations a particular measure/score is above or below the mean

Transforming Raw Scores into SS

SS = what you want your X to be + (Z) what you want
your SD to be( )( )

ExampleAssume that among diabetics the fasting blood level of glucose is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 105 mg per 100 ml and an SD of 9 mg per 100 ml.
1. What proportion of diabetics have levels between 90 and 125mg per 100ml?
2. What level cuts off the lower 10 percent (10th centile) of diabetics?
3. What levels equidistant from the mean encompass 95 percent of diabetics?
