z Score(or standard score) the number of standard deviations that a given value x is above or below the mean Measures of Position
Sample Measures of Position z score x - x z = s
Sample Measures of Position z score Population x - µ x - x z = z = s
Sample Measures of Position z score Population x - µ x - x z = z = s Round to 2 decimal places

) k ( 100 Start Finding the Value of the kth Percentile Sort the data. (Arrange the data in order of lowest to highest.) Compute L = nwhere n = number of values k = percentile in question The value of the kth percentile is midway between the Lth value and the next value in the sorted set of data. Find Pk by adding the L th value and the next value and dividing the total by 2. Is L a whole number ? Yes No Change L by rounding it up to the next larger whole number. Figure 2-17 The value of Pk is the Lth value, counting from the lowest
