He wants to compare these measures the hemoglobin levels in five of his patients levels to the population norms. Suppose the level in children aged 2-10 is 12.3 gm/dl with a standard deviation of 1.6 gm/dl. The researcher compiles the fallowing table, w first column of values is the patient's hemoglobin level (Hb level), the second column describes the location of that hemoglobin level in the d of hemoglobin levels among children aged 2-10, and the third column contains the corresponding z-score of that missing values patient's hemoglobin level. Hb Level (gm/dl) 13.1 7.5 Location Descript one-half of a standard deviation above he mean z-score Patient 1 Patient 2 Patient 3 Patient 4 Patient S -3.00 one-quarter of a standard deviation below the mean 9.1 -2.00 one standard deviation below the mean 1.00 Showing results for howto write in the same box on excel Search instead for hwo to write int he same box on excel ShA

Explanation / Answer

for z score =(X-mean)/std deviation

hence :

patient HH level location description z score 1 13.1 one half of a std deviation above the mean 0.5 2 7.5 three std deviation below the mean -3 3 11.9 one quarter of a std deviation below the mean -0.25 4 9.1 two std deviation below the mean -2 5 10.7 one a std deviation below the mean -1
