| Jul 1, 2020 at 7:27 | comment | added | user290096 | @SeanRaleigh Its not from any text, I was trying to understand z-scores and could not grasp my head around the interpretation. | |
| Jul 1, 2020 at 7:20 | comment | added | user290096 | @BruceET What I meant was that for example if we have 5 dollars to be divided among 2 people, we would divide 5/2 and the result would be 2.5, i.e. 2.5 dollars per person. Dividing it gave us how many dollars would go to one person. Similarly, 15 grades away from the mean per SD came from (distance of observation from mean)/SD, the way I thought, it would mean the distance of the observation from mean per SD. | |
| Jul 1, 2020 at 7:20 | comment | added | Sean Raleigh | I am also confused by the claim about grades. Could you provide more context? Was this a quote from a larger passage? That might help clarify the meaning. | |
| Jul 1, 2020 at 7:16 | comment | added | BruceET | Not sure I understand z-score is '15 grades away from the mean'. Values on a standardized scale no longer 'grades' in the original sense. (Standard scores measure in terms of standard deviations.) | |
