I. Z - Score and Double Replacement
A. Formula Z Score
● Z = X - X̅ / s
Z - Standard Score
X - raw score or observed value
X̅ - Sample Mean
s - sample standard deviation
● Z = X - μ / σ
Z - Standard Score
X - raw score or observed value
μ = population Mean
σ = population standard deviation
A. 1. Sample Problems
1. On a final examination in Biology, the mean was
75 and the standard deviation was 12. Determine the
standard score of a student who received a score of
60 assuming that the scores are normally distributed.
X= 60
X̅ =75
S = 12
Z = 60 - 75 / 12
Z=- 1.25
I
2. On the first periodic exam in Statistics, the
population mean was 70 and the population
standard deviation was 9. Determine the standard
score of a student who got a score of 88 assuming
that the scores are normally distributed.
X = 88
μ = 70
σ=9
Z = 88 - 70 / 9
Z= 2
3. In a Science test, the mean score is 42 and the
standard deviation is 5. Assuming the scores are
normally distributed what percent of the score is:
a. Greater than 48
b. Less than 50
c. Between 30 and 48
Step 1: Letter A Greater than 48
a. X = 49
X̅ =42
S=5
Z = 49 - 42 / 5
Z = 1. 2
II
Step 2 : Letter A
0 = 0.5
1.2 = 0.3849
A1 = 0.3849
A2 = 0.5
A = A2 - A1
= 0.5 - 0.3849
= 0.1151
= 11.51%
b. Step 1 for b Less than 50
X = 50
X̅ =42
S=5
Z = 50 - 42 / 5
Z= 1.6
Step 2 for b
0 = 0.5
1.6 = 0.4452
A1 = 0.5
A2 = 0.4452
A = A1 + A2 (LESS THAN, THATS WHY ITS ADDITION)
A = 0.5 + 0.4452
A = 0.9452
A = 94.52%
III
c. Between 30 and 48
X = 30, 48
X̅ =42
S=5
1. Substitute X to 30
Z = 30 - 42 / 5
A1 = -2.4
2. Substitute X to 48
Z = 48 - 42 / 5
A2 = 1.2
2.4 = 0.4918
1.2 = 0.3849
A1 = 0.4918
A2 = 0.3849
A = 0.4918 + 0.3849
(Addition because -2.4)
=0.8767 or 87.67%

B. Double Replacement
a. Formula for:
● Mean μ
μ = Σ X̅ / n
Where :
X̅ = sample mean
n = Number of observation
Alternative formula for the mean is:
μ = Σ X̅ ( PX̅ )
X̅ = Sample mean
Px = Probability of each mean
A. Sample Problems (Sampling Distribution)
1. Consider the population consisting of values of 2, 3, and 5. List all the sample size 2
that can be drawn from the population mean with replacement. Then, compute the
mean X̅ for each sample. Lastly, find the mean of the sampling distribution of means
and the mean of the population.
Solution: All the possible samples of size of 2 with replacement are listed down below. The
corresponding means of all these samples are shown in the third column. For instance the
first sample consists of (2 , 2) and the corresponding mean is (2 + 2) / 2 = 2.0. The second
sample consists of (2, 3) / 2 = 2.5. And so on

OBSERVATION SAMPLE X̅

4 3, 2 2.5
5 3, 3 3.0
6 3, 5 4.0
7 5, 2 3.5
8 5, 3 4.0
9 5, 5 5.0
X̅ = Sample / 2
X̅ = 2 + 2 / 2 = 2.0
A. Variance and Standard Deviation Formula
● Variance (Sample) = (X̅ - μ)² / n -1
● σ(Standard Deviation) (Sample) = √(X̅ - μ)² / n -1
● Variance (Population) = (X̅ - μ)² / n
● σ(Standard Deviation) (Population) = √(X̅ - μ)² / n

2.5 1/9 5/18
3.5 1/9 7/18
2.5 1/9 5/18

3.5 1/9 7/18
4.0 1/9 4/9
5.0 1/9 5/9
X̅=30 X̅(PX̅)= 3.33
To get the X̅(PX̅) multiply the X̅ value to the (PX̅) value.
If the answer is decimal on your calculator press the ab/c button to convert it into fraction.
Checking:
Mean of the population (2, 3, 5)
a. μ = Σ X / n
=2+3+5/3
= 10 / 3
= 3.33
b. μ = Σ X̅ / n
= 30 / 9
= 3.33

μ =88 / 16 = 5.5 = 42.00
Variance = (X̅ - μ)² / n -1
σ²(Variance) = 42 / 17
σ² = 2.47
σ(Standard Deviation) = √(X̅ - μ)² / n -1
σ = √2.47
σ = 1.57
3. A population consists of three numbers (2,4,6). Consider all possible samples of size 2
which can be drawn without replacement from the population.

II. T - Distribution and Critical value:
1. Formulas
● T - distribution Formula
t = X̅ - μ / s / √n
Where:
X̅ = Sample mean
μ = Population mean
s = Standard deviation
n = Sample size
● Degree of Freedom Formula
df = n-1
● T critical value
α = Confidence level - 1
α / 2
Where
α = two tail
α/2 = one tail
2. Example: A student researcher wants to determine
whether the mean score in mathematics of the 25 students in
Grade 8 Section Newton is significantly different from the
average of the school which is 89. The mean and the
standard deviation of the score of the students in Section
Newton is 95 and 15, respectively. Assume a 95%
confidence level.
A. Step 1 Df:
Df = n-1
Df = 25-1
Df = 24
Step 2 Critical value:
Confidence level is 95%
(1- α) 100%= 95%
1- α = 0.95
α = 0.05 - two tail
α/2 = 0.025 - one tail
CV = 2.064
Step 3 T statistic:
t = X̅ - μ / s / √n
t= 95 - 89 / 15 / √25
t=2
B. Example 2
Mean = 435 / 15 = 29
Variance = 634 / 15 = 42.27
SD = √42.27 = 6.50
Df = 15 -1 = 14
Confidence Level = 90%
Two tail = 0.90 -1
Two tail = 0.1
One tail = 0.1 / 2 = 0.05
CV = 1.761
t= 29 - 0 / 6.50 / √15
T= 1.151
