Introduction
A student gets a test back with a score of 78 on it.
A 10th-grader scores 46 on the PSAT Writing test
Isolated numbers don’t always provide enough information…what we want to know is where we stand.

Where Do I Stand?
Let’s make a dotplot of our heights from 58 to 78 inches.
How many people in the class have heights less than you?
What percent of the dents in the class have heights less than yours?This is your percentile in the distribution of
heights

Finishing….
Calculate the mean and standard deviation.
Where does your height fall in relation to the mean: above or below?
How many standard deviations above or below the mean is it? This is the z-score for your height.

Let’s discuss
What would happen to the class’s height distribution if you converted each data value from inches to centimeters. (2.54cm = 1 in)
How would this change of units affect the measures of center, spread, and location (percentile & z-score) that you calculated.

Percentiles
Value such that r% of the observations in the data set fall at or below that value.
If you are at the 75th percentile, then 75% of the students had heights less than yours.

Test scores on last AP Test. Jenny made an 86. How did she perform relative to her classmates?
Her score was greater than 21 of the 25 observations. Since 21 of the 25, or 84%, of the scores are below hers, Jenny is at the 84th percentile in the class’s test score distribution.

Z-Score – (standardized score)
It represents the number of deviations from the mean.
If it’s positive, then it’s above the mean. If it’s negative, then it’s below the mean. It standardized measurements since it’s in
terms of st. deviation.
