Standard Scores • Two examples of standard scores: • Z scores • T scores
Variable • A variable is a measureable characteristic determined and defined by an experimenter
Z scores • Z scores represent standard deviation units on the normal curve
Z score formulation • High score is a good score Z= X-X s Low score is a good score Z= X-X s
T score formulation • High Score is a good score T = 10 (X-X) s • Low score is a good score T = 10 (X-X) s
Z scores and T scores represented on the normal curve Z score units -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 T score units 20 30 40 50 60 70 80
Benefits of Z scores and T scores • Z scores and T scores are continuous scores and therefore can be added, subtracted, multiplied, and divided • These scores provide a means for combining scores that have unlike terms.
