1. A student was asked to compute the mean and standard deviation for the following sample of n= 5 scores: 81, 87, 89, 86, and 87. To simplify the arithmetic, the student first subtracted 80 points from each score to obtain a new sample consisting of 1,7,9,6, and 7. The mean and standard deviation for the new sample are then calculated to be M=6 and s = 3. What are the values of the mean and standard deviation for the...

10. Properties of the standard deviation and range Aa Aa E Which of the following is a true statement concerning the standard deviation? Check all that apply. The standard deviation provides a measure of the spread between the two most extreme scores in distribution The standard deviation is more subject to sampling variation than the range. It is more complex to compute the standard deviation than the range. A researcher is studying psychological factors in artistic achievement among teenage girls....

Unit 6 Lesson 3 Classwork (Adapted from Math Vision Project) Data Distribution A lot of information can be obtained from looking at data plots and their distributions. It is important when describing data that we use context to communicate the shape, center, and spread. Shape and spread: Modes: uniform (evenly spread- no obvious mode), unimodal (one main peak), bimodal (two main peaks), or multimodal (multiple locations where the data is relatively higher than others). Skewed distribution: when most data is...
