  9. Raw scores, z scores & probabilities • Notice: • 3 types of numbers • raw scores • z scores • probabilities Mean = 50 Standard deviation = 10 z = -2 z = +2 If we go up two standard deviations z score = +2.0 and raw score = 70 If we go down two standard deviations z score = -2.0 and raw score = 30

  10. Mean = 100 Standard deviation = 5 If we go up one standard deviation z score = +1.0 and raw score = 105 z = +1 z = -1 68% If we go down one standard deviation z score = -1.0 and raw score = 95 85 90 95 100 105 110 115 If we go up two standard deviations z score = +2.0 and raw score = 110 z = +2 z = -2 95% If we go down two standard deviations z score = -2.0 and raw score = 90 85 90 95 100 105 110 115 If we go up three standard deviations z score = +3.0 and raw score = 115 99.7% z = +3 z = -3 If we go down three standard deviations z score = -3.0 and raw score = 85 85 90 95 100 105 110 115 z score: A score that indicates how many standard deviations an observation is above or below the mean of the distribution z score = raw score - mean standard deviation
