Describe characteristics of the normal curve.
Define the standard normal curve.
Define standard scores (z-scores), and identify the mean and s.d. of the z-score distribution.
Given the mean and s.d. of a distribution of raw scores, be able to convert any raw score to a z-score and vice versa.
Describe uses of z-scores and their advantages and disadvantages relative to percentile ranks.
Use the areas under the normal curve to find areas cut off above, below, and between z-scores and to find z-scores that cut off particular areas in the curve.
Use the areas under the normal table to convert raw scores or z-scores to percentile ranks and vice versa.
Define: outcome and event.
Define mutually exclusive outcomes.
Calculate the probability of an event consisting of two or more mutually exclusive outcomes.
