    Standardizing is something I'm running into a lot lately, and I'm curious about something. If I have a variable x and I want to identify outliers, I could standardize and remove anything above +/- 1.96, or whichever cutoff I choose. I wonder, if x is not normally distributed (e.g. are quite skewed), are z-scores no longer valid? I think that because z-scores are calculated using the mean, but since x is not normal, the mean is no longer a reasonable value for this. Is this correct?

    I'm glad you find my videos helpful.
    The random variable X has a mean of mu (E(X) = mu). (X-mu) is itself a random variable, with a mean of 0. E(X-mu) = E(X) - E(mu) = mu - mu = 0. As a simple example, suppose we have a distribution with a mean of 3. If we create a new distribution by subtracting 3 from every possible value, then the mean of the new distribution would be 0.

    1. I watched your videos on how to read standard tables but still can not understand how the area got to be 0.111.
    I think we should look at the table with positive numbers and that gives an area of 0.8888. The table with negative numbers gives an area of 0.111, as you said in the video, but I do not see why we should look at that table in the first place.
    2. In the percentiles section, you have marked 0.1 on the left side of our graph. Left side is for negative values, right? Why should 0.1 not come to the right side?
    I would be glad if you could help me.

      Your table is giving you the area to the left of the value of z. In my example, I needed to find the area to the right. Since the area under the entire curve is 1, the area to the right of 1.22 is 1-0.8888 = 0.1112.

    • @jbstatistics
      @jbstatistics 7 лет назад

      There isn't a formula -- the area is obtained by numerical integration. If you don't have access to software that will find the area (e.g. R, SAS, Excel), then you would need to look up the relevant values in the standard normal table and make the appropriate calculation.

    • @jbstatistics
      @jbstatistics 8 лет назад +1

      +Bhagirath Tallapragada The question is asking for the probability that a randomly selected female is *taller* than 170.5 cm. So we need the area to the *right* of 170.5 under the appropriate normal curve. This is equal to the area to the *right* of the calculated z-score (1.22) under the standard normal curve. When you run off to the z table and look up 1.22, the table gives the area to the *left*, which is not what we need. The standard normal distribution is symmetric about 0, so the area to the *right* of 1.22 is equal to the area to the *left* of -1.22. This is why when you look up -1.22 in the table, you find the final answer. You can also find the final answer by subtracting the area to the left of 1.22 from 1.

      The R command qnorm(.1) returns -1.281552 (the 0.1th quantile of the standard normal distribution). qnorm(.1,0,1) would also work (returning the 0.1th quantile of a normal distribution with mean = 0 and SD = 1, which is of course the SND).

    Can I ask what if the question is
    "Ten texpayers are selected at random. What is the probability that 3 of the taxpayers will get their refunds at least 16 weeks?" but before this question it alreasy state that the average is 12 and stdev 3..the variable is the amount of time..
    Can I know how to calculate it.. Thank you

    We can find the appropriate areas using software or a standard normal table. I have a playlist "Using a Standard Normal Table" which contains videos for the two main table types. Cheers.

      @@pikapikacheww_ If using R you could write: pnorm(1.22) - pnorm(-1.72) to get the %. -1.72 and 1.22 are Z scores (x-mean/sd) for each side. I am terrible at explaining and 2 years late but I hope this helps someone.

      +Killan TRAPSA I have videos outlining how to find areas under the standard normal curve. You can use software or a standard normal table to find that area.

      see how it is calculated: See, P(Z1-1.72)=0.9573, what you actually want is the Z1 and Z2. Because the left side of Z2 = 1-Z2 = 0.0427, and we would know that the "AND" part will be Z1 - (1-Z2) = 0.8888-0.0427=0.8461

    • @mobilbear
      @mobilbear 7 лет назад +2

      +Killan TRAPSA1, because in the previous example, it is to ask P(Z>1.22), while, actually from the Normal Distribution value table, you can get 1.22 as 0.8888, which means value smaller than 1.22, as you already knew that the total shadowing is 1, then the P(Z>1.22)= 1-0.8888=0.1112, hope this helps

    • @wiiliskaako5875
      @wiiliskaako5875 6 лет назад

      you subtract 0.047 from 0.8888 and if u r asking how i got this numbers its the area of -1.72 and 1.22

    In regard to the probability of a randomly selected adult American female taller than 170.5cm, the answer I received is 0.1112
    The answer you provided was .111
    Did you just shave off the 2? or did I receive the incorrect answer?

    • @jbstatistics
      @jbstatistics 6 лет назад

      I rounded to 3 decimal places. To 6 decimal places, the z value is 1.220588. The area to the right of this is 0.111121. The area to the right of 1.22 is 0.1112324. A table will give the area to the right of 1.22 as 0.1112.

    • @eclecticreader961
      @eclecticreader961 6 лет назад

      I notice many instructors seem to round to the nearest hundredth. Is this something that is mandatory?

    • @jbstatistics
      @jbstatistics 6 лет назад

      Most standard normal tables list z values to 2 decimal places, so if you're using a table to find areas, you typically end up rounding the z value to 2 d.p. There's nothing mandatory about rounding to 2 decimal places -- if you're using software, then don't round until you get the answer and then round to a reasonable number of decimal places.

    So what if you want to find the percent of women with the height between 150.5 and 170.5? Great video by the way :-)

    • @jbstatistics
      @jbstatistics 9 лет назад +1

      We'd just express the probability as a percentage: 84.6%. (The probability that a randomly selected adult American woman has a height between those 2 values is the same as the proportion of adult American women with a height between those 2 values.) Cheers.
