With reference to Exercise 1, the errors (minutes) are listed below.

4, 鈥�7, 0, 1, 鈥�1, 1, 鈥�4, 鈥�7, 22, 7, 鈥�5, 1

The predicted error is 0 minutes.

The Z-score is required to find the standard value of the specific raw score. It is the resultant of the quotient of two values, the difference of the raw score (x) and the mean measure $\left(\stackrel{炉}{x}\right)$; and the standard deviation value (s).

The formula of z-score is shown below.

$z=\frac{x-\stackrel{炉}{x}}{s}$

The formulae for sample mean and sample standard deviation are given below.

$$\begin{gathered} \stackrel{炉}{x}=\frac{鈭�x}{n} \\ s=\sqrt{\frac{鈭�{\left(x-\stackrel{炉}{x}\right)}^2}{n-1}} \end{gathered}$$

For n values, substitute the values in both formulae.

The mean of the observation is calculated below.

$$\begin{gathered} \stackrel{炉}{x}=\frac{鈭�x}{n} \\ =\frac{4+\left(-7\right)+0+...+1}{12} \\ =\frac{12}{12} \\ =1 \end{gathered}$$

The sample standard deviation is calculated below.

$$\begin{gathered} s=\sqrt{\frac{鈭�{\left(x-\stackrel{炉}{x}\right)}^2}{n-1}} \\ =\sqrt{\frac{{\left(-7-1\right)}^2+{\left(-7-1\right)}^2+{\left(-5-1\right)}^2+...+{\left(22-1\right)}^2}{12-1}} \\ =\sqrt{\frac{64+64+36+...+441}{11}} \\ =7.862 \end{gathered}$$

Thus, the mean and the standard deviations are 1.0 minute and 7.9 minutes, respectively.

The difference between the observed and mean predicted errors is

$$\begin{gathered} x-\stackrel{炉}{x}=0-1 \\ =-1 \end{gathered}$$

The quotient of the difference over the standard deviation measure is computed below.

$$\begin{gathered} z=\frac{x-\stackrel{炉}{x}}{s} \\ =\frac{0-1}{7.9} \\ =-0.1266 \\ 鈮�-0.13 \end{gathered}$$

Thus, the z-score is 鈥�0.13.

When the z-score computed for the observed values is less than 2 and greater than 鈥�2, the value is not unusual and the result is insignificant.

Since the z-score lies within the range of 鈥�2 and 2, the error is insignificant鈥攏either low nor high.
