3. Positive skewed
4. Mesokurtic

Answer / Solution

UNSOLVED

Summing (adding together) all the deviations from the mean produces the following value:

1. The standard deviation of the set of scores
2. Mean value of the set of scores
3. 0(Zero)
4. Variance of the set of scores

Answer / Solution

UNSOLVED

Why does standard deviation formula have a square root as part of it?

1. To make it add up to the mean
2. To revise the effect of squaring the deviations
3. To provide a standard (Mean=0, SD=1) unit of measure
4. In order to calculate variance

Answer / Solution

UNSOLVED

In a distribution in which student scores are highly skewed, which one of the following is true?

1. Standard deviation  should never be used to report the spread of such scores
2. Standard deviations are always the most appropriate measure to report such spread of scores
3. Dependent upon the standard deviation values it may be appropriate to report the spread of such scores
4. In this case standard deviation should be devided by the number of scores to obtain a more valid measure

Answer / Solution

UNSOLVED
