Mean, Standard Deviation, and Probability of closing less than the mean (#1)
|
3.6 to 4.0 points
Correct mean, standard deviation and probability. The probability is based on the normal distribution and not counting individual data values.
|
2.8 to 3.5 points
Minor error(s) in the standard deviation and probability calculations. The probability is correct and based on the normal distribution, not counting individual data values.
|
1 to 2.7 points
Probability given by counting data values, not based on the normal distribution.
|
0 points

|
|
Probability closing above indicated value (#2)
|
3.6 to 4.0 points
Correct probability is given, based on the normal distribution, and work is shown.
|
2.8 to 3.5 points
Errors in probability calculation such as giving z (not probability) or giving less than rather than greater than.
|
1 to 2.7 points
Incorrect or no work shown or probability was given by counting data values, not based on the normal distribution.

|
Probability closing within the indicated amount of the mean (#3)
|
3.6 to 4.0 points
Correct probability is given, based on the normal distribution, and work is shown.
|
2.8 to 3.5 points
Errors in probability calculation such as not finding correct values, giving z (not probability), or subtracting z’s.
|
1 to 2.7 points
Incorrect or no work shown or probability was given by counting data values, not based on the normal distribution.

|
Probability closing below the indicated value (#4)
|
3.6 to 4.0 points
Correct probability is given, based on the normal distribution, and work is shown. Identify if this value is unusual
|
2.8 to 3.5 points
Errors in probability calculation such as giving z (not probability) or not identifying if value is unusual.
|
1 to 2.7 points
Incorrect or no work shown or probability was given by counting data values, not based on the normal distribution.

|
Unusual closing values (#5)
|
3.6 to 4.0 points
Correct top and bottom value given
|
2.8 to 3.5 points
Errors in calculation include using the wrong number of standard deviations or only giving one value
|
1 to 2.7 points
Gives only definition of unusual but does not calculate or calculated incorrectly or no work is shown or not based on the normal distribution
|
0 points
Not present.
|
|
|
Quartiles (#6)
|
3.6 to 4.0 points
Correct quartiles given
|
2.8 to 3.5 points
Minor error in quartile calculation
|
1 to 2.7 points
Incorrect quartiles
|
0 points
Not present.
|

|
Validity of normality assumption (#7)
|
3.6 to 4.0 points
Correctly uses the definition to identify the validity of the normality assumption and connects it to the data set. If a histogram was constructed it is submitted as part of the answer.
|
2.8 to 3.5 points
Incorrectly concludes if the normality assumption is valid, but uses the definition in argument and connects it to the data set.
|
1 to 2.7 points
Does not refer to the definition of normality in conclusion, simply answers yes or no and does not connect it to the data set.
