1/5/2018 1/9/18; Reply due Weds 1/10/ Please answer the following questions: Imagine you have asked 1000 people how much they enjoy eating on a scale of 1-7. You have very skewed data, such that there are only outliers in the "negative" or left-hand side of the distribution. You decide to convert everyone's scores to z-scores. 1. After you convert the scores into z-scores, what would the shape of the distribution be? Explain your answer. Imagine you have ask the same 1000 people how much they enjoy running on a scale of 1-7. You have perfectly normal data. You decide to convert everyone's scores to z-scores. 2. Which z-score would be more probable, a z =-2.0 or a z = +0.5. Explain your answer. Please be sure to reply to at least one of your classmates' posts.

Explanation / Answer

Solution:-

2) a = - 2, would be more probable than z = + 0.50 because it is already given that the data is skewed and there are many outliers in left handed and right handed side of the data. The z = - 2 lies in the left handed side of the data.
