Percentage of scores falling below a z of -.24
Student provided the following answer: 9.48% of scores fall below a z-score of -.24
Is the students answer correct? If not, what did they do wrong and what is the correct answer?
The percentage below the Z scores is calculated using Z-score shown below, but the table always gives the proportion not the percentage so, we need to convert it into a percentage by multiplying it with 100,
let's find out the proportion first below Z= -0.24
so, from Z table we can see that the proportion below is 0.4052 so, the percentage of scores fall below Z=-0.24 is 0.4052*100=40.52%
