QUESTION 1
The following type of test norms is an example of normalised standard scores.
A. Stanine scale
B. Percentiles
C. Z-scores
D. Mental age scales
Answer: C
normalised standard scores - A procedure in which each set of original scores is converted to
some standard scale under the assumption that the distribution of scores approximates that of a
normal.
a z-score (also called a standard score) gives you an idea of how far from the mean a data point is. But
more technically it's a measure of how many standard deviations below or above the population mean
a raw score is.
