    The document provides steps to calculate percentile ranks based on a normal distribution curve. It shows how to determine the z-score that corresponds to a given percentile, then shade the appropriate region of the normal curve to represent the percentile. Percentile rank indicates the percentage of scores in the distribution that are equal to or below the given score.

    You Got a score of 82 and you want to know
    How you fared in comparison with your
    classmates. If your teacher tells you thaf you
    scored at the 90th percentile, it means that 90%
    of the grades are lower than yours and 10%
    were higher.

    Steps Solution

    1.Draw the appropriate normal


    curve

    2.Express the given percentage as 95% is the same as 0.9500


    probability.

    3.Split 0.9500 into 0.5000 and 0.9500 = 0.5000 + 0.4500


    0.4500.
    4. Shade .5000 of the sketch
    of the normal curve

    5. Refer to the table of Areas This Area is not found in the table.
    Under the Normal Curve. Locate It is between the values of 0.4495
    the area 0.4500 in the body of the and 0.4505
    table.
    6. Find the z-score that Find z by interpolation, as follows
    corresponds to 0.4500 on the
    leftmost column.

    7. Find the z- value that 0.4505 > z = 1.65


    corresponds
    To 0.4505
    8. Find the z-value that 0.4495 > z = 1.64
    corresponds to 0.4495

    9. Find the average of the two z- z = 1.65 + 1.64


    values. 2

    10. Locate z = 1.645 under the The 95th percentile is z = 1.645


    curve in step 1 and make a
    statement.

    11. Draw a line through under the Do this under th sketch of the
    curve in step 1. curve in step 1.
    12. Shade the region to the left of Do this under the sketch of the
    z = 1.645 curve in step 1.

    13. Describe the shade region. The shaded region is 95% of the
    distribution.
    STEPS SOLUTION

    1. Draw the appropriate normal


    curve

    2. Express the given percentage 10% is the same as 0.1000


    as probability.

    3. With respect to the mean, To the right of the mean.


    locate the upper 10%.
    0.5000 – 0.1000 = 0.4000
    4. Ising the upper side of the
    mean, find the remaining area.

    5. Refer to the table of Areas This area is not found in the body
    under the Normal curve. Locate of table, so we take 0.3997, which
    0.4000. is the closest value.

    6. Find the z-score that z = 1.28


    corresponds to
    .39997 on the leftmost column.

    7. Locate z = 1.28 under the That is, the upper 10% is above z
    Sketch of the curve in step 1 and = 1.28
    make a statement.
    8. Draw a line through under the Do this under the sketch of the
    sketch of the curve in step 1. curve in step 1.

    9. Shade the region to the right of Do this under the sketch of the
    z = 1.28. curve in step 1.

    10. Describe the shaded region. The shaded region is the upper
    10% of the normal curve.
    Steps Solution

    1. Convert the raw score of 84 to 84 - 80


    z-score form. = 15 = 0.27

    2. Find the are that corresponds Z=0.27 corresponds to the area


    to z=0.27. 0.1064..
    3.Draw the normal curve showing
    the z-score.

    4. Draw a line through z= 0.27 in Do this under the sketch of the


    the sketch of the normal curve in curve in step 3.
    step 3.

    5. Shade the require region in the Do this under the sketch of the
    sketch of the normal curve in step curve in step 3.
    3. The required region is below z=
    0.27 expressed as percentile rank.
    6. Examine the shaded regions First, get the total area below
    and decide what operationto z=0.27.
    apply. That is, 0.5000 + 0.1064 =0.6064
    7. Compute the percentile rank of Percentile rank of 84
    the score 84. = 0.6064 x 100
    = 60.64%

    8. Make a concluding statement. The percentile rank of the score


    84 in a test is 60.64.
