Question

Which of the following z-scores indicates the most extreme observation?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Normally Z scores in a std normal distribution curve lie between -3 and 3 comprising more than 99% of total area.

Any entry outside (-3,3) can be considered as an extreme observation.

Here we have hence a) -4.3 is the most extreme observation.

-------------------------

Given that 84 separates the lowest 75% of the scores from the highest 25% of the scores,

This means 84 is the 75th percentile and similarly 65 is the 25th percentile.

Thus we have 84 has the percentile rank of 75
